Pemberton's Parlour, Watchtower on Chester city walls, England.
The red sandstone structure features a semicircular chamber with an arched entrance and three decorative panels on its south-facing facade.
Originally built as a circular tower, the structure underwent reconstruction during Queen Anne's reign and received another renovation in 1894.
The structure displays the royal arms and Chester's coat of arms in relief panels, representing the connection between local and national authority.
Located at coordinates 53.193, -2.89723, the tower provides access to the city walls walkway through its ground-level entrance.
The structure bears two names on its crenellated parapet: Goblin Tower from its past and Pemberton's Parlour, named after a mayor who supervised ropework.
