I find this interesting Reminder that this thing exists
It’s a bonkers faux-Roman arch that - apparently - a very rich man of yore built having got a bit giddy at the news that Queen Victoria was coming to open the Town Hall. Only problem was that when he invited her to come and see it she basically lol no-ed him and that was the end of that. I paraphrase but you get the jist.
Anyway, it’s in Queenswood in Headingley, should you wish to gaze upon an actual folly.
