The Shot Tower had been constructed in 1826 and was part of Lambeth Lead Works. It existed until well into the 20th century, when it was used as a radio beacon during the 1951 Festival of Britain, and was eventually demolished to make way for the Queen Elizabeth Hall (South Bank Centre), which opened in 1967.
