Broadway Tower, Gothic Revival folly tower in Broadway, England
Broadway Tower stands 65 feet tall with a hexagonal shape, featuring three round corner turrets, battlements, and gargoyles on Broadway Hill.
James Wyatt designed the tower in 1794 for the 6th Earl of Coventry, completing its construction between 1798 and 1799 as part of a landscaping project.
The tower functioned as Sir Thomas Phillipps' printing press from 1822 to 1862 and later became a regular meeting place for artists William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones.
The structure contains three museum floors, a viewing platform at the top, and connects to walking paths from Broadway village and the A44 road at Fish Hill.
A restored Royal Observer Corps nuclear bunker from the Cold War period remains accessible near the tower, offering insights into military monitoring operations until 1991.
