Not a time ball tower but at a stretch I suppose it could be said to be distantly related.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Interesting but unfortunately incorrect suggestion Rossian.
The tower is now unique and is the only survivor of a number of similar towers built just over two hundred years ago by the military as part of the response to a probably genuine threat from another country. It has been described as once being a cutting-edge building at the forefront of technology.
