The Castle was built as a summerhouse in 1754 for Randle Wilbraham I of Rode Hall. It was built to look like part of a castle of a bygone era, and would have enhanced the view of the newly constructed Rode Hall some 3 miles away on the Cheshire side of the hill. Mr. Wilbraham employed local stonemasons John and Ralph Harding. It is said they were paid 1 shilling a day, and one of the members of the family lost a hand while constructing the castle. The Wilbraham family used the summerhouse for picnics and entertaining friends on days out.

Thank you so much for your visit!
It's not a castle or a house, or even a ruin. It's the southernmost outcrop in Cheshire of hard sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level. At its highest point stands a mock tower that was built as a summer house in 1754 by Randle Wilbraham, the local Lord of the Manor. This tower is visible for miles around and is a major landmark visited throughout the year. Interestingly, it was the location for the first Primitive Methodist service in 1807.
It's a bit of a strange place with people going up there at all times of the day or night in all conditions, some for the most bizarre reasons. Drinks, drugs, weddings, prayers, sightseeing, sun and moon worship, it has been the setting for a few of my adventures in the past too. See my Mow Cop album!
Anyhow, this shot was a dud. Something has gone wildly wrong in my processing factory!!! Possibly caused by too much booze.

Not all motorcycle clubs have their own police officer, but we do.(Although he has now retired from the force). And as a driving instructor in the police and rescue service, for many years, we sometimes struggle to keep up with him. Both on the road and in the bar..He he.👍
Mow Cop Castle, in the care of The National Trust, England. This is number 11 for 12 months of the same image.
I've taken this with a fisheye lens for a more panoramic capture. You can see from this shot how the castle sits high up on a cliff edge, seen to the right.
It doesn't look it but it's blowing a hoolie up at the top!

A monochrome image of Mow Cop Castle on the Cheshire-Staffordshire border. Built as a summerhouse by a local in 1754 this folly makes a perfect photographic subject.

Here is Johnny's Silent cop NOT Copper!
A silent cop, also referred to as a "sleeping policeman" or a "traffic dome", is a traffic management device formerly widely used in Australia. It consisted of a metal or concrete dome, about 400 mm (16 in) wide and about 125 mm (5 in) tall, embedded in the road surface. They were usually painted yellow and often decorated with retro-reflective glass beads or "cats eyes". The name has its origins from the Northern Beaches area of Sydney and was derived from the early days of motoring when policemen would be deployed at busy street corners to direct traffic, before traffic signals became widespread.
Silent cops were placed in the middle of street intersections at cross roads, and turning drivers were expected to drive around one, keeping it to the right of the vehicle when turning right or left. They were also placed in the centre of the terminating street at T-intersections to force drivers turning in or out of the street to be on the correct side of the road rather than cut the corner.
The use of "silent cops" has been phased out in Australia, due to changes in the recommended method of performing turns (the introduction of the diamond turn at signalised intersections), and the hazard they posed to motorcyclists and pedestrians.
