The Droitwich Water Tower

 The Droitwich Water Tower is a prominent landmark in the town of Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, England. It is also known as Yew Tree Hill Water Tower, as it is located on Yew Tree Hill. The tower was built in 1962 by the East Worcestershire Waterworks Company to house a tank containing 150,000 imperial gallons (680,000 L) of water, to improve the local supply pressure.
