WATER TOWERS OF THE SOUTH EAST is a study of water towers, working and redundant, including conversions, in south-east England. As well as an outline of the purpose of the water tower, the book is illustrated with examples from nine counties: East and West Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Essex, Dorset, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Suffolk―and London. There are towers in brick, concrete, stone and metal―there’s even one that looks like a helter-skelter. There are modern ones from the 20th century, many from the 19th century and even one (in Rye) from the 18th century. Recommended as an introduction to the study of these fascinating structures. Well illustrated with colour photographs, so at its best when viewed in colour on a larger screen.
