Gawthorpe Water Tower

Gawthorpe Water Tower

Georgina Westley

At the highest point in Gawthorpe sits this beautiful art deco water tower. Built between 1922 and 1928 the tower not only stores water for the town but these days houses telecommunications equipment too. I may have given the tower a fresh lick of white paint but I don't think anyone will mind, I like to think I am restoring it to its glory days!
