lithographic poster, 1937, condition A-; not backed, framed
This poster was part of an advertising campaign series entitled ‘To Visit Britain’s Landmarks’. The series comprised a selection of follies and sometimes unusual attractions, encouraging the public to explore the British countryside.
This folly was built in the 18th century by Dennis Bond, the then owner of Creech Grange which sits in the valley below. It was built as a feature that could be seen from his manor house and today it is in the hands of the National Trust.
