Boss photos you've taken

Perishing outside tonight - but I found an exposed ladybird and small crane fly on the fence panels.

Jubilee Tower, Quernmore, near Lancaster


James Harrison, to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, did two things. In a fit of patriotism he lit a beacon on nearby Clougha Pike on the date of the Jubilee, and his second deed was rather more enduring - he commissioned a local mason to build a folly view tower.

This was built to be a viewing tower, and here is some of what can be seen: Face out to sea and look at the great views of Lancaster close by, with Heysham and its power station beyond. To the right, looking north on a clear day shows the Lake District and it’s southern mountains. Behind is Hare Appletree Fell and a path up to Clougha Pike. The road to the left will take you to the Trough of Bowland, a fantastic drive through this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Tower is a plain stone structure 3.87 metres square and 4.5 metres high with a stone staircase up to the flat top, which is surrounded by a crenellated wall. There are no doors or windows in the outer walls.
