The Jubilee Tower, Moel Famau

Moel Famau, Denbighshire

An unfinished Egyptian monument blown down by a storm.

In 1810 work began on a huge Egyptian-style obelisk on Moel Famau, the highest point of the Clwydian Range, to celebrate King George III's Golden Jubilee. It was never finished, and in 1862 a great storm brought most of it crashing down.
