Lund's Tower, Folly tower in Sutton, England.
Built with squared-dressed stone, the tower rises eleven meters and features crenellated battlements with a spiral staircase containing thirty-nine steps to a viewing platform.
James Lund commissioned the architectural firm R. B. Broster & Sons to construct this tower in 1887, coinciding with Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations.
The tower earned Grade II listed building status in October 1984, marking its importance within England's architectural heritage and Victorian era construction methods.
Located on Earl Crag, the tower stands near Wainman's Pinnacle, with both structures creating recognizable landmarks known locally as the Salt and Pepper Pots.
Local stories suggest the tower was either built to honor James Lund's daughter Ethel or to commemorate Queen Victoria's jubilee, leading to multiple names.
