Ethel's Tower
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 28 Jul 1987
Ethel's Tower, also known as Lund's Tower, was built in 1897 by a local man, James Lund, as a present to his beloved daughter Ethel on her 21st birthday. It has been stated elsewhere that Lund built it to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, but remembering that Lund was a Yorkshireman, I will leave the reader to decide which story s/he thinks is the more likely.
