Oldest airport control towers in the UK

Which British airport has the oldest control tower still in continuous use ? By airport I mean facilities which handle regular airline traffic as opposed to GA airfields like Barton and Blackbushe.

The thing is many of our regional airports have acquired new towers in the last fifteen years or so whereas others are still using towers over forty years old. The tower at Leeds Bradford was commissioned in 1967. The likes of Blackpool and Teesside are probably older still.

Thankyou.
