The Water Tower

Norton Water Tower

It was built between 1888 and 1892 on the water pipeline between Lake Vyrnwy in North Wales and Liverpool to act as a balancing reservoir in the process of supplying water to Runcorn and Liverpool. Water is carried to Liverpool through a tunnel 10 feet (3 m) wide under the River Mersey.The tower was designed by George F. Deacon, the Chief Engineer of the Liverpool Corporation Waterworks Department.
