Overview
The black and white photograph shows the water tower in Rankin Gardens with new hybrid chrysanthemum developed by Mr J. Martin, the council's gardener, cascading down its sides. The tower used to be behind the present Council Chambers, and has since been removed. Tall trees are seen in background. Museum holds original photograph only.
