The Towers, English country house in Crosspool, England.
The Towers features coursed rubble walls with ashlar dressings, a plain tile roof, and sash windows alongside eight small towers at the angles of a low curtain wall.
Built in 1896 by architects Flockton & Gibbs for Christopher D. Leng, son of Sheffield Daily Telegraph editor, the house later served as headquarters for Spear & Jackson during World War II.
The Grade II listed building represents the Scottish Baronial architectural style, with its tall battlemented main tower and circular stair turret displaying the design preferences of late Victorian Sheffield.
The property, located on Sandygate Road near the junction with Coldwell Lane, maintains its original features including a paneled entrance hall and period fireplaces.
The house stands on the former site of a public pleasure ground established by George Woollen, owner of the Rivelin Corn Mill in the early nineteenth century.
