Decorated Water Tower, Plas Newydd, Llangollen
A water tower, built by General Yorke who owned the house from 1876 -1890. He added a west wing to the house and this tower was used to pump water to the bathrooms. The extension became infested with dry rot and was demolished in 1963. The tower was decorated with wooden panelling to match the house but this only extends to the three most visible sides -the fourth is left as rough stone as can be seen in the other photo on this site.
