Stone Water Tower

The station once boasted a stone-built water tower at its north-eastern end, the site of which is now occupied by a signal repeater disc beyond the Poulsom Park accommodation crossing.  This original dated from the earliest days of the railway and was demolished in 1979 shortly after the government took over operation of the railway.  It was fed by a manual water pump and was situated over a well, which was unearthed during drainage works for the nearby modern housing estate in 2021, but then filled back in.

The original was located on the other side of the access crossing as viewed today.  The Friends Of... have provided historical research and scale drawings of the original should a replica ever be constructed, the current version being time expired and in need of replacement which is due in early 2026; there was a further tank on a frame beside the Silverburn Bridge beyond the station limits, this was fed from the river below, though it has long since been removed.

Modern Water Tower

Erected to service of locomotives in the summer of 2001 in advance of the following year when short line workings for the I.R.I.S. Scheme saw the station serve as temporary terminus, this structure was constructed of steel bar holding the tank atop it with integral metal steps for ease of access; these were removed upon deterioration in the summer of 2023 and to date have yet to be replaced.  The entire tank is due for replacement in the early part of 2026 being time expired, a new one being of similar construction.

Intended initially as temporary, when the line was reinstated fully in 2004 the tank remained and now sees regular use when the evening dining trains call at the station regularly; in poor condition, in early 2025 additional props were added as support, and it is the ultimate intention to replicate the original in stone, as seen since 1998 at Port Erin Station where the original had been demolished in 1986. It is in poor condition and due for replacement.
