The Tower was designed by John Foulston as part of the development of the town of Devonport, then a separate town from its neighbour Plymouth, and completed in 1824. It has come through some very difficult times, for example the Blitz of Plymouth in World war 2. But it is still there, along with the other two buildings in the picture, and thanks to a grant from the Heritage Fund , of the National Lottery, it was refurbished and is open to anyone who wants to climb the 137 steps up the inside of the tower to the observation platform at the top.
Climb the steps tomorrow and look out to sea.
