An unusually impressive water tower of brick with arched windows and a polygonal stair turret, and a massive iron tank topped by a hipped slate roof. {1} The building is of two storeys, and had a 37,000 gallon tank which was filled by both wind and oil powered engines from an artesian bore about half a mile away to the south. The engine house on the east elevation has been demolished. The tank is formed of cast iron sections, bolted together, a form of pre-fabrication that enable various sizes of tank to be constructed. Access to the tank is from the roof of the stair turret on the front elevation, by an external iron ladder to a ventilation hatch. Inside, an iron framework supported planks over the water to enable cleaning. It was in use from 1903 until 1978, when it is was converted into a private residence. The tank was retained as part of the conversion, with windows inserted into the tank walling. {2}{3}
