New Forest Photographic Memories
Tradition alleges that Mr Peterson incurred the wrath of the Admiralty for putting a light at the top of his tower. Naval captains complained that their ships were mistaking the tower for a lighthouse as they navigated up the Solent.

New Forest Photographic Memories
Sway stands on the high road between Brockenhurst and Bournemouth, and is dominated by a concrete tower built by a Mr Peterson. Some say it was built as a tomb or cenotaph, others as a simple demonstration of the durability of concrete.
