About
Wallasey Water Tower was built in 1860 to supply water to the local area. It was built in its current location due to the height of the ground it sits on.
Wallasey Water Tower is 32m (104ft) high, which is 65m (214ft) above sea level and comprises of 5 floors which are around 1000sqft each. There are 151 steps in total from ground level to roof, resulting in 24 steps between each of the floors.
While the tank at the top of the building was blown off in WW2, the large feeding pipes that fed it are still in place and go through each of the floors to underground.
