Jezreel's tower, Religious tower in Gillingham, England.
The massive square tower rose 144 feet on each side with yellow brick walls and ornamental blue Staffordshire brick decorations at Chatham Hill.
Construction began in 1885 under James Jershom Jezreel's leadership, who established the New and Latter House of Israel religious movement in England.
The interior contained performance spaces, dormitories, restaurants, and workshops where followers printed materials about their belief in physical immortality.
The tower stood incomplete until 1960, when a thirteen-month demolition process removed the structure from its location near present-day bus stops.
Engineers noted the building's exceptional durability during demolition, as the concrete foundations and thick walls required extensive effort to dismantle.
