Rivington Pigeon Tower
Rivington Pigeon Tower was built up in the hills above Bolton by local lad William Lever (1851-1925) who is better known as the philanthropist Lord Leverhulme. This was built in the early 20th century with three levels. The top storey was to enable William's wife to have a good view when she and her friends did their sewing- it's alright for some! The lower two levels housed ornamental doves and pigeons.
Very dramatic and lonely looking!
