Disused water tank building and 2 water columns. Building dated 1861, designed

Water tank building: one-storey base; 3 round arches with chamfered arch bands,
on square piers with roll-moulded impost blocks. Arches with radial glazing
and weather-boarded infill. 2 stepped bands above arcade. Tank made of iron
plates bolted together. 7 plates on front and 5 on returns. Each plate has
cross-braced ribs; central plates on all sides have oval panels with engineer's

The water columns are situated on 2 platforms to the west of the tank building.
Each column has a ball finial and a counter-weighted swinging arm with a
leather hose.
A rare survival from the mid C19.
