The Barbourne Water Tower was built as part of the water
works in 1770. Water was taken from the Severn and pumped through
the tower and along wooden pipes into a central city supply
near the Trinity. It became redundant when a new waterworks
was built in the 1800's. It was converted into dwellings for
a time but was unfortunately demolished in the 1960's. Today
the foundations are still visible at the rear of Gheluvelt Park.
