Now surrounded by a modern housing estate it is a Grade II listed building. The water tower is a well-known landmark dating from 1857 and can be seen from most of Liverpool standing at the top of Everton brow. StructureDesigned by the Liverpool's first water engineer, Thomas Duncan, it is all that is visible of the {{convert|1.5|acre|sing=on}} {{convert|12|ft|m}} deep water service reservoir. The masonry hides a cast iron tank {{convert|90|ft|m}} above ground level.[2] [3] [4] The tower consists of 3 stages. The first stage is made up of an arcade of 12 arches in a rusticated style. The second stage also consists of a 12 arch arcade with each arch having an impost band and keystone and a top bracketed cornice. The final stage is recessed and contains the water tank with iron supporting brackets.[1] HistoryThe building was placed up for sale by owner, United Utilities, in July 2018 as they maintained the structure no longer had any operational use and had not been used for the storage or distribution of water for "many years."[5] The tower was taken off sale later in the month when it was revealed that United Utilities had been approached by a charity with a proposal for the future use of the site.[6] Despite the proposals, nothing came of them and in February 2019 the building was auctioned and sold to an unknown buyer for £70,000.[7][8] See also
