Description: Laura's Tower was built as a folly on the summit of Shrewsbury Castle motte. It was built around 1790 by Thomas Telford for Laura, the daughter of Sir William Pulteney, as a summerhouse. It is of an octagonal design in red sandstone with conical copper roof. The River Severn, particularly still in this photograph, meanders lazily below. (Image kindly supplied by D. Rose Roberts).
