Tower Works

Italian design finds a new lease of life

In 1864 Colonel Thomas Harding, a gill-pin maker, opened the new Tower Works factory on Globe Road. The design was heavily influenced by his love for Italian architecture and art. The largest and most ornate tower is based on the iconic Giotto campanile (bell tower) in Florence. The smaller ornate tower is based on the Lamberti Tower in Verona. Soon Tower Works will become a vibrant waterside neighbourhood connected to the city centre that is rooted in the local community as well as its heritage.
