Southwold Water Tower, in the middle of Southwold Common, was built in 1890. The tank held 40,000 gallons of water and in 1937 a new 150,000 gallon capacity Art Deco water tower was built next door. Southwold Borough Council bought the Old Water Tower before it came into the hands of successive water companies. It was then returned to the council for a nominal fee of £100 in 1987. The Old Water Tower has since been used as the Lifeboat museum and later by Adnams brewery for a number of years.
