Westgate Water Tower, Grade II listed water tower in Lincoln, England.
The Westgate Water Tower rises 120 feet tall, featuring a circular brick tower enclosed within a square brown Darley Dale Gritstone structure.
The tower was constructed in 1911 following a devastating typhoid epidemic that caused 113 deaths in Lincoln between 1904 and 1905.
The tower's facade incorporates decorative fleur-de-lys symbols, representing Mary Mother of Jesus, the Patron Saint of Lincoln.
The structure maintains water rotation in its 300,000-gallon tank, preventing stagnation while supplying water to the uphill areas of Lincoln.
The steel-plated water tank inside the tower was engineered by the same technical team that worked on the Titanic ship.
