Sway Tower is 66 metres (200 ft) tall and is a Grade II listed building. It is also known as "Peterson's Folly". Built by Andrew Thomas Turton Peterson on his private estate from 1879–1885. It is constructed entirely out of concrete, with only the windows having iron supports. It remains the tallest non-reinforced concrete structure in the world.
