Highlight • Historical Site

The Adisham Water Tower, located in the parish of Adisham, Kent, is a Grade II listed building dating from 1903. Built in an Edwardian Italianate Revival style, the tower is rectangular in shape and constructed of red brick and terracotta. It has an iron water tank on top, with decorative features including banded pilasters, open arcades with round arches and a deep cornice with decorative iron railings. The tower was originally built for the Margate Corporation District Waterworks and is a striking example of functional architecture combined with aesthetic detailing.
