MALVERN WATER TOWERS
Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England is famous for its Malvern Waters and has been so since the mid-16th century. Now we create a new aspect of this fame and share it with Malverns Worldwide. From bottled water and collecting at the springs we move to a completely new theme for Malverns Worldwide.

He was a generous benefactor and set up a number of spouts for natural Malvern water. The Clock Tower was originally a single storey Well Room built in 1836 and 'The Tank' was filled with 50,000 gallons of spring water from North Valley. In 1901, a further storey was added to the 'Tank' tower to support a new clock with four gas lit clock faces and a flag pole, to celebrate the coronation of Edward VII. In more recent years, the spout room has been enhanced with new doors and is usually decorated for the famous local annual well dressing celebrations. It is one of many celebrated Malvern water facilities and water sources around the Malvern Hills.  MALVERN WATER TOWERMalvern, Alabama.

UPTON WATER TOWER (14HWoo)Located to the east of Upton-upon-Severn near Great Malvern, Worcestershire, U.K., by the junction of the road from Upton with the A38 Worcester to Tewkesbury road.

TEXAS-McHENRY WATER TOWER, MALVERN, ARKANSAS.Named after the roads that it resides on in Malvern, Arkansas, this US tower is still something of a mystery. Malvern is the gateway town to the Hot Springs National Park. Recently the tower was redecorated in leopard style to bring the community together. In spite of being a landmark, the tower had been perceived as dull and boring. During a much earlier visit we photographed a tower on the hill near the Arlington Hotel. Is this the water tower? We welcome further information. bruce@thespas.co.uk

TANK HOUSE MALVERN HILLS U.K.Located in Colwall on the western side of the Malvern Hills. WR13 6RP. This building, which is a replica of the Holy Well on the eastern side of the Malvern Hills, was built in 1892 as part of the establishment of Schweppes Malvern Water bottling plant. It originally contained a substantial water tank/reservoir and associated filter equipment. The plant closed in 2011 after difficulties in improving the water supply from local springs which were seasonal. Local historian Cora Weaver approached English Heritage with a view to conserving the Tank House while all other bottling plant buildings were removed and the site redeveloped. Click left for a picture of this iconic building during transformation of its surroundings. As a result it is a Grade II listed structure seeking a new role. Recently there have been proposals to convert it to residential use.
