The tower nearest is Perrott's folly, the other being the tower of the Edgbaston Waterworks.
Tolkien grew up within sight of these (he lived for a time near my house later in life...), hence the supposed inspiration.![]()
Thank you very much for showing this.
Wow. :shock: I can see that as a boy growing up around those towers he would be in inspired to bring them into a fantasy tale later on. They look just like something I imagined after reading his books.
