Prince Rupert's Tower, Lock-up tower in Everton, England
The octagonal stone structure rises from Everton Brow with its conical slate roof and thick walls measuring only one floor in height.
Built in 1787, this holding cell detained local troublemakers until their morning court appearance before the regional justice of the peace.
The tower gained recognition when Everton Football Club incorporated its image into their official team crest starting from 1938.
Located in Rupert Lane Recreation Ground, visitors can view the illuminated exterior of the structure throughout the day and evening hours.
The tower received its name from Prince Rupert, who positioned his forces at this location during the 1644 siege of Liverpool Castle.
