The Cheese Lane Shot Tower in Bristol, England.
When I took the picture I had no idea what the building was. Remarkably it was a building used to create lead shot. Lead ingots were melted at the top and poured through a sieve. As this falls it cools and forms little balls which land in a tank of water at the bottom. Shot was still made here right up until the late 1980's.
