Hadlow, The Castle Entrance c.1950
Photo ref:

More about this scene
These attractive ivy-clad ruins are not as ancient as they look: they are part of the castle constructed as a folly by Walter May along with his 170 foot high tower. Such Gothick confections were very popular with more eccentric landowners at the end of the 18th century. Demolition was begun in 1951, but was almost immediately stopped following protests by the local artist Bernard Hailstone.
