    The Pigeon Tower (AKA The Dovecote Tower) was built in 1910 by Lord Leverhulme as part of the Rivington Estate. The lower two floors where home to ornamental and rare species of pigeon and dove with the third floor kept as a sitting room with amazing views. Lady Leverholme used to enjoy sewing here.
