HWW from Laura's Towers at Shrewsbury Castle

The tower was built as a folly by Thomas Telford c. 1790 for Laura, the daughter of Sir William Pulteney as a summer house. The walls of Laura's tower are built of sandstone which has varying degrees of hardness, so it's possible to see erratic weathering of the stone.

Our next door neighbours have a summer house in their back garden. It's made of wood and they keep their garden recliners in it. It's not of this quality though. ;-)
I think it may have been a flat pack. ;-))))
