I remember this striking tower very well, as I happened to come across it some time in 1996 when demolition was in progress. I am glad that the tower has been preserved and some of the old buildings as well. Pity that all the old Victorian fittings and windows of the original hospital building were obviously destroyed by vandals. Do you know if the tower has any use nowadays? It would make a splendid tourist attraction if one was allowed to climb it. I was inside the tower and remember the old wooden stair case was wrecked.
