The River Crane Shot Tower, Crane Park, Hounslow, West London, UK.

---

"The Hounslow Gunpowder Works opened in the late 1760s in what is now the western end of the park. Crane Park Island was created to provide a mill pond for the water to drive the machinery. There were many explosions and the Shot Tower is now thought to have been a windmill for recirculating water to power the mills, rather than a shot tower for making lead shot." Wikipedia
