Gaskell Memorial Tower, Knutsford
Around 1907-8, the Gaskell Memorial Tower was designed by William Longworth for Richard Harding Watt as a coffee house and council offices and later used as a restaurant. It consists of a main block for the offices, forming a courtyard, and the tower with an external staircase. It is constructed in rubble sandstone, with Portland stone at the top of the tower. Its architectural style is eclectic Italianate with Arts and Crafts elements. Its features include a smaller tower with a dome, a statue of Mrs Gaskell in a niche, a bronze medallion, and a pair of large Doric columns which were moved from St Peter's Church in Manchester.

An octagonal column carved with the names and dates of the Anglo-Saxon, Stuart and Hanoverian monarchs of England/Great Britain. If the names of the medieval period are present, they must be round the back, or a missing piece of stone may have been replaced with a plain one.
