Water tower back to original colour • By Anan Zaki ADDINGTON’S HISTORIC water tower is sporting its original colour scheme for the first time in decades. The 21.9m structure at Tower Junction was damaged in the earthquakes but has recently been repaired, strengthened and given a fresh coat of paint. “In recent times the tower has been painted either grey or black but we knew that when it was originally built in 1883 it was painted in Victorian colours,’’ says city council Heritage Programme manager Richie Moyle. “Working out what those Victorian colours were was not an easy task as we only had black and white photos of the tower, but we finally got the information that we needed to allow us to replicate the original colour scheme,” Mr Moyle said. He said he was thrilled to restore the landmark to its former glory and had already received positive feedback from the community regarding the new colour. “How the tower looks now is pretty much how it would have looked when it was first built to supply water for Addington’s railway workshops,’’ Mr Moyle said. The Addington water tower was designed by Peter Ellis, the then chief draughtsman for the Railways Department, and was built using prison labour. The octagonal-shaped tower sits on a slight lean as it was built on a base of quicksand and clay – it sunk 22cm during construction. The city council said it carried the highest possible Historic Places rating because it was the first reinforced concrete water tower built in the world. WWW .VI S I O N C O LLE G E.CO.
