Everton Water Tower
When the old Liverpool Corporation Waterworks built the water tower on the top of Everton Hill in 1856 they created a sandstone masterpiece that dominates the area to this day. It still performs a vital role the city's water distribution system. Designed by the Liverpool's first water engineer, Thomas Duncan, it is all that is visible of the one and a half acre 12 feet deep water service reservoir. The local red sandstone hides a cast iron tank 90 feet above ground level

Everton Water works
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.

Liverpool Necropolis - Grant Gardens
Due to the expansion of the port of Liverpool in the early 18th century Liverpool Necropolis (Low Hill Cemetery) was opened 1825, at the corner of Everton Road and West Derby Road (formerly Rake Lane). Designed by Architect John Foster Jr.at a cost of £8,000, the much needed cemetery was rapidly filled in the following 70 years with 80,000 burials. It was closed to burials in 1898 and in 1913 the lodges, gates & walls were demolished, monuments and large gravestones removed and the area landscaped.
Grant Gardens were opened by Alderman J R Grant in 1914.
