Everton Water works
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 9 Aug 1987
Fine pumping engine houses and a water tower with a cast iron tank supported on a magnificent stone structure. A fine example of municipal architecture. According to Peter Cahill, who has contacted me, the chimney-like structure adjacent to the water tower contained a stand-pipe and stairs and has had its top section removed. The other square structure is a chimney and Peter thinks it has not been shortened. There is apparently a contemporary engraving in the Illustrated Times of 1856.
