I always thought this would make a lovely viewing tower as part of an interesting town centre flat. Date stone just off pic seems to say 1886.

I'ts on Call Lane (unless I'm very wrong!). I recognised it and found this photo that I took on November 1 2011. I hope Jogon you do not mind me posting a photo in your thread.
