#4 Compton Hill Water Tower - 101 List


#4. The city from the top fo the Compton Hill Water Tower, one of seven such towers remaining int he country. This one's elegant French Romanesque, built in 1898 to costume a 100-foot standpipe, and a hount of architects for its 360 degree view of the city. (Taken from the article.)

On April 2, 2011 I visited Compton Hill Water Tower. My dream is to one day make it to the top. It is 198 iron steps to the top. I think the view would be amazing.
