Eveleigh, water tower
This heritage listed water tower is located at the north eastern entrance of the Australian Technology Park, in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. The Australian Technology Park utilises the heritage buildings of the old Eveleigh Railway Yards. The water tower consists of a 40,000 gallon, open-topped, riveted wrought iron tank on a metal stand. It was erected in 1926 to supply water for the blacksmith and furnace operator in the Locomotive Workshops.
Looks impressive, Think you will find it is called a braithwaite tank I used to build them as an apprentice
