Tower West of North Stanley Warehouse

Hydraulic Tower to West of North Stanley Warehouse, Regent Road 
Circa 1852-55
Grade II

To the west of the North Warehouse, is a tall octagonal tower built of smooth stone in irregular blocks of granite, with arrow slit openings and castellations at the top, surmounted by a round chimney and an attached lower block. 

These formed the pump house and hydraulic tower to provide the power for lifting appliances, some capstans and tobacco presses. The only surviving equipment inside is the accumulator.
