Boot’s Folly, Strines Tower or Sugworth Tower was built in 1927 by Charles Boot the son of the founder of local construction company Henry Boot PLC. Henry Boot & Sons was founded in 1886 and helped by the success of civil building contracts and building camps for the military during the 1914-18 war the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1919. It’s no surprise therefore that around Sheffield and surrounding areas the family is well known and a number of local builds have been constructed by the company, owned by the family and lived in by the various descendants of Henry Boot.
The tower was built out of the leftover stone from the construction of Bents House nearby. The stone was obtained by the demolition of Bents Farm, Pears House Farm and Nether Holes Farm all of which were apparently demolished because they were polluting local watercourses. Either it was commissioned by Charles Boot to provide work for some of his construction workers during the Great Depression, and/or to allow him to see the church yard at High Bradfield where his wife had been buried the year before (1926). Either way the tower is now derelict and has sadly lost its wood panelled interior and fittings – including a spiral staircase since a cow managed to climb it and get stuck in the tower.
Macro Mondays theme Buckle
Small buckle across the top of the foot of my boot(s). Width of frame measures under 5cm.
Happy Macro Monday! 😊
The Boot is rich in history being built around the time of The War of The Roses-The Battle of St Albans.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

Boot Arch in the Alabama Hills is 3 1/2 feet tall and 4 1/2 feet wide. The rock pillar in which it is found is 12 feet tall and 11 1/2 feet wide. Lone Pine Peak is framed in this view of the arch.
Tricolored Herons are quite common here in Southeast Florida but given their good looks and antics they are rarely taken for granted. Sometimes they fish like Reddish Egrets, throwing out their wings to cause shade from which they can more easily spot their prey. I see this more often in saltwater environments than fresh water. At Wakodahatchee Wetlands, a freshwater habitat where this image was taken, they tend to fish on the fly, catching small minnows by darting their bill underwater as they fly past. Snowy Egrets tend to fish the same way. In this image, the water was dark and the light was primarily landing on the bird, nicely separating it from its background. It gave me a nice low bank with a reflection to boot. (Egretta caerulea) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 600mm, f/6.3, 1/4000 second, ISO 640)
Im Hafen von Essaouira liegen die blauen Boote dicht an dicht. Essaouira ist eine alte Hafenstadt mit einer schönen Altstadt in Marokko und liegt am Atlantik.
Wilbur gets ready to shoot Boot Arch in the Alabama Hills. The free-standing rock pillar is 12 feet tall by 11 1/2 feet wide, but the arch is 3 1/2 feet tall and 4 1/2 feet wide.

I had some fun today prepping photos for a macro challenge in another group. It's always interesting to focus right down on the details of one object from several different angles. These are my new(ish) walking boots.
Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
This is the top of one of Anita's boots. She took them off when she climbed up on the picnic table for her "5 minute" nap. I watched as the wasp went down inside and I was thinking... oh no this won't be good. About this time the cars with the teenagers began arriving and the wasp decided the inside of those boots was no place to be! As they say, "All's well that ends well" !
