Strum<p>Pumpkin's Tower, Trowbridge, Wilts<br>A medieval-style round tower, emerging from the tiled roof of a building erected in 2000 AD. Think of it like a middle finger, raised to the local Planning Department, who foiled several wacky plans by one Thomas Rothschild, a local businessman. The tower is named after Mr. Rothschild's daughter.<br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PumpkinsTower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PumpkinsTower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trowbridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trowbridge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Wiltshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wiltshire</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ThomasRothschild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThomasRothschild</span></a></p>

Strum<p>Pumpkin's Tower, Trowbridge, Wiltshire<br>An ancient tower, built as long ago as 2000AD, by Thomas Rothschild, a local businessman - as a sort of middle-finger salute to the local planning office, that has thwarted some of Tom's schemes.

Strum<p>Hotel Bythesea, Trowbridge.<br>A bit strange, since Trowbridge is a good 30 miles from the nearest briny. <br>The Hotel takes its name from Bythesea Road, on which it stands. The road takes its name from Henry Bythesea, who built a housing development here, at the beginning of the nineteenth century.<br>Since I first visited, some 30-odd years ago, the building has been renamed; Bythesea Lodge.<br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trowbridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trowbridge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Wiltshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wiltshire</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Bythesea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bythesea</span></a></p>
