Visit Notes

Tuesday, 18th December 2001

I didn't see much of this tower because after slashing my tyre and bending a track rod whilst parking in the street below I was in no mood to go any closer to it.

The tower lacks its roof, but judging from the railing around the top it may be possible to climb it. Fairly recent repointing make it seem a little artificial.
