Standing in front of the Edgbaston Waterworks Tower, you can just see the top of Perrott's folly. For a moment I imagined I was in Isengard looking towards Minas Morgul. A really nice write up on the two towers can be found on the birmingham city council website.

Driving home from Birmingham and thought we would take a look at these 2 towers that were meant to be the inspiration for Tolkien’s Two Towers. The 2 buildings are pretty awesome. Glad we called in to look.

Tolkien vibes here! Photographed this, had to edit it a bit. Waterworks folks, fix that window or risk the grasp of Mordor!

Great for Tolkien fans! It is believed that this tower and the other, just one block away, Perrott's Folly, inspired Tolkien for “The Two towers” in “The Lord of the rings”. He would have seen them regularly, as he lived in nearby Stirling Road for a time, and used to worship in Birmingham’s Oratory, founded by Cardinal Newman, which was also very close to them. It is a Victorian building designed by John Henry Chamberlain and William Martin around 1870. The site is operated by Severn Trent Water which is actually simply a chimney, that can be seen clearly from...

On my walks round Edgbaston reservoir I can see this tower which looks very like a Campanile or bell tower in Florence Italy. I visited this tower but it's behind security fencing at Severn Trent Water so difficult to photograph. It would be better if access were allowed!! Also, it's supposedly one of the two towers in JRR Tolkein's Lord of...

Designed by John Henry Chamberlain and William Martin around 1870. The chimney (as well as engine house and boiler house) are Grade II listed.

The site is operated by Severn...
