Calstock
4/63 Water tower
16.5.86
GV II
Water tower. Circa 1872. Slatestone rubble with brick dressings.
Plan: Rectangular plan water tower. The tank was open-top, set at the top of the
tower. The water tower has a tall round arch, up to the height of the stonework ;
above the arch the tower is in brick. There is an iron ladder set on the side of the
tower for inspection of the tank.
The water tower was used for the engines running on the Mineral Railway and a
portable steam engine on the incline. The tower was maintained after the incline was
disused as a water system was intalled using gravity only, and water pressure, to
supply water to the station at Calstock town.
