Lynmouth: the Rhenish Tower

On the quay at the end of the harbour is the Rhenish Tower. This was built in the 1860s to store saltwater for indoor baths but later fitted with a light to act as a beacon. It was badly damaged in the devastating floods of 1952 but rebuilt to its original form. It acquired its name after it was said to resemble a tower on the River Rhine.

HWW, have a great day.

The tower is an interesting combination of red brick & stone. I wonder why it is called Rhenish Tower?

Glad you liked this one Peter. My Google research came up with this: "It acquired its name since it was said to resemble a tower on the River Rhine."

HBM. Enjoy the day. Herb
