In case you were wondering
Silly screen names are not unusual here, but here's the inspiration for mine.Pyramidal in construction, Hoober Stand is roughly
30m (100ft) high and almost devoid of architectural
ornamentation on its exterior, the true dignity of 18th
century craftsmanship being preserved for the interior.
The walls ascend perpendicularly for around 4.5m
thereafter tapering inwards, a shape which has been
interpreted by some to represent England, Ireland and
Scotland preserved under one crown. The optical illusion
created by this form of construction gives the impression
that the building is leaning, and although the cupola is
situated over the centre of the tower, it’s position seems
to move from side to side as the visitor’s angle of approach
changes.
