The brick tower was completed in 1890 by Lawrence Rawstorne, to provide the town with a water supply. It continued in this capacity until 1895 when new water pipes and a mains system were installed in what was then a village. It has since been converted into private residential apartments. A ground floor unit had been occupied by estate agents Reeds Rains. When they moved out a pizza chain applied to move in but they were rejected. The space is now occupied Inkarma a private tattoo studio.
