    The fabulous and ornate 77 metres (253 feet) high Wainhouse Tower was originally commissioned as a chimney for the local dye works by John Edward Wainhouse in the late 19th century. The structure was never actually used as a working chimney and as such, it is regarded by many as one of Britain’s finest follies.

    On bank holidays the tower is open to the public and you can climb the stairs to the top
