Everton Water Tower is a water tower situated in Everton, Liverpool. It is a Grade II listed building. The water tower is a well known landmark dating from 1864 and can be seen from most of Liverpool standing at the top of Everton brow. Designed by the Liverpool's first water engineer, Thomas Duncan, it is all that is visible of the 1.5-acre (6,100 m2) 12 feet (3.7 m) deep water service reservoir. The masonry hides a cast iron tank 90 feet (27 m) above ground level.
Famous quotes containing the words water and/or tower:
“A man’s social and spiritual discipline must answer to his corporeal. He must lean on a friend who has a hard breast, as he would lie on a hard bed. He must drink cold water for his only beverage. So he must not hear sweetened and colored words, but pure and refreshing truths. He must daily bathe in truth cold as spring water, not warmed by the sympathy of friends.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If God made me a princess, why didn’t he take a little more time and make my hair so it wouldn’t snarl?”
—Robert N. Lee. Rowland V. Lee. Princess, Tower of London, while the Princess’ mother is combing her hair (1939)
