The Tower of Light

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Plans are afoot to light up St Michael’s Tower at night. Discussions are taking place with Gloucester City Council and a team of lighting specialists. The aim is to sensitively light up the whole of the Tower during the evening to help make the Cross area more attractive and to make the Tower more attractive for our users. This is Phase 2 of the St Michael’s Tower restoration project.
