Barbourne Water Tower north of Pitchroft during the early 20th
century. The 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. |
