    That person doesn't deserve to have it in their garden!

    It'll be very useful when society breaks in the very near future. He can fill it with food and supplies, barricade himself in and fight off the hordes zombies attacking the place.

    I'm richer than you, and in a roundabout tower way I want you to know this.

    Now that he's mentioned that, maybe I should bring up this elephant that's been in my room.

    I assume/hope that the tower in question is a protected structure!

    I reckon its a remnant folly from the old Cloncurry estate that once took up most of the area.

    The DART passes between two more towers forming an old footbridge nearby for the same estate.

    Pics.

    Somone appears to have a round tower in their back garden and is only questioning it now, does anyone know anything about it?

    Comments are gas.

    he should get in contact with the local history club in the area, they'd probably be able to fill him in. remember one of my primary school teachers mentioning this tower but i forget the story behind it.

    Speaking of towers, I have an old unused fort in my back garden, didn't pay it much notice really.

    I have got a wooden tower in my garden and it has these kind of rope things hanging out of it and they go to my neighbour's tower.

    Pretty sure I had mine first though.

    Not very regal furniture for a King, is it?

    And there's me getting excited when I found out I had frogs in my back garden.
