The Lendal Tower (left), bt the Lendal Bridge, dates from about 1300 and was part of York City's defences. During the 18th century it housed the steam powered pump that supplied water to York which continued until the mid-19th century. It was refurbished in 1932 and now houses the York Waterworks Plc Company's boardroom. Part of City's defensive wall system are in the foreground.
