Built in 1799, Broadway Tower is a folly located on Broadway Hill, near the village of Broadway, in the English county of Worcestershire.
A Folly is a costly ornamental building with no practical purpose, especially a tower or mock-Gothic ruin built in a large garden or park.
Folly's were often built as "poor relief" to provide employment for local artisans during hard times.
You can see them all over the UK and Europe.
This odd looking "Folly" is hiding a water storage tower.
