A Monument That Nearly Wasn't
The tallest three sided obelisk in the world, this monument to the Duke of Wellington nearly never existed!
The idea for the monument was first mooted in 1817, two years after the Duke's famous victory over Napoleon at Waterloo. Originally a triangular pillar was to be topped with a bronze statue of Wellington, with a total height of 140ft. Months later, however, support for the monument had waned and the obelisk was wasn't completed for another 30 years. The statue of Wellington was never added.
In 1890 the monument was rebuilt after a lightning strike. The new monument was taller, reaching it's current size of 175ft.

Join me as I explore an abandoned kart track in Selsey. From the sandy beach to the eerie remains, this DJI Mini 3 Pro footage captures the eerie beauty of this forgotten race track. On the edge of Selsey is an abandoned race track for karting. After spotting it I had to walk back to fly around.
Discover the windmill by the sea
Переглядів 37Місяць тому
The windmill at Medmerry, near Selsey (West Sussex) was built in 1827, replacing an earlier post mill on the site. It has gone through several refits over it's life, most notably in 1907. It continued to work as a mill until the early 1920s, becoming derelict in 1928. Work on restoration began in the 1960s, replacing damaged sails and again in the late 1980s when wind destroyed the sails again....
