I worked on the tower as a kid in 1968. When I was there is was just two concrete saucers and a crane out of the top. A temporary builders lift was inside with a permanent operator (an Irish guy). It was about 3 foot square and about 20 fellas seemed to get into the lift. There was no protection on the sides at the top and it was easy to fall off. I recall laying on my stomach to look over the edge on the bottom section (the floor). I remember a hole in the top section (the roof) with a bit of wood thrown over it. It would have been easy to fall through to the lower. Safety was not as it is today.



A chimney was run up the inside of the tower for the boilers.

Many years later I went to the top of the tower to the revolving restaurant. It was nice up there having dinner as it went around. At dusk on a high tide as the ships were coming from Liverpool Bay with their lights on, it was spectacular.
