Description: | The Shot Tower was built in 1826 and belonging to Walters, Parker & Co. The tower was used for making lead shot for guns. During the Festival it was used as a light house and the optic for the light was made by Chance Brothers Ltd., who had made the glass for the original Crystal Palace. It was also used as a radio telescope, transmitting signals to the moon. The tower was demolished in 1962 and replaced by a tree. | License: | http://www.lambethlandmark.com/terms.html | Subjects: | River Thames Towers Bridges Festival of Britain Roofs Festival of Britain - Introduction Waterloo Bridge Leadshot Manufacturing Charing Cross Bridge | Temporal: | 1951-01-01T00:00:00/1970-12-31T23:59:00 | Source: | Lambeth Landmark | Creator: | Lambeth Libraries | Identifier: | http://landmark.lambeth.gov.uk/display_p... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
