Tower 2 from the top of Tower 3

Tower 2 from the top of Tower 3

Tower 2 is about 50 feet lower than No.1, and sited on a small knoll slightly further inland, where Wear Bay Road is now situated. The tower was purchased from Folkestone Corporation in 1964, converted into a house, with a swimming pool on the roof.1 This has been replaced with a full roof, similar to that on Tower 8.

Extra windows have been added and the exterior coated with a coloured lime rendering. Surrounded by tall trees and situated up a private track, the tower is really only visible from a high position, such as the roof of Tower 3. The tower is a private residence.
