York Buildings Water Tower, Industrial water tower near River Thames in London, England
The York Buildings Water Tower stands 70 feet tall with an octagonal structure made of wood on the north bank of River Thames.
The water tower, constructed in the late 17th century by York Buildings Company, provided fresh water supply to London during its period of urban growth.
Several notable artists including Canaletto and Joseph Farington featured this water tower in their paintings depicting London's north bank landscape in the 18th century.
The structure location at the end of Villiers Street near York Watergate provides easy access through multiple London Underground stations and bus routes.
The water tower's wooden octagonal design and Thames-side position made it a notable feature of London's skyline during the industrial revolution period.
