Lendal Tower
York Waterworks Plc, York, United KingdomTel: +44 1904 622171
Lendal Tower is situated at the foot of Lendal Bridge and was built in the early part of the 14th century as a defence tower. Later, in fact much later, in the 17th century a merchant by the name of Henry Whistler took over the lease from the City of York in order to use it as a water tower. The lease was for 500 years for an annual fee of one peppercorn, which is still paid today. A rectangular extension was built onto the original round tower, to house the sump. It was Henry Whistler's intention to pump water from the river, by means of a water wheel, in order to supply water to the people of York. Surprisingly, Lendal Tower is still associated with water but now it has become the Head Office of York Waterworks.

“Lendal tower is now part of the de bretton group. When I visited the Marmadukes hotel in York I was surprised at how well the tower was looking. Especially at night time. I was told by some staff in the hotel that this tower is now going to be open and used mainly for weddings and conferences.”
