EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled atop Grinlow Hill in the picturesque town of Buxton, Derbyshire, stands Solomons Temple, a Victorian folly that has captivated visitors for generations. This enchanting image, captured in the 1920s, showcases the temple in all its glory as it overlooks the rolling hills and lush pastures below. The temple, also known as Grinlow Tower, was built in the late 1800s as a folly and hill marker. Its distinctive design, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture, features intricate columns, ornate carvings, and a domed roof. The temple's name is believed to have originated from local folklore, which holds that King Solomon himself visited the site during his legendary journey to collect precious stones for the Temple in Jerusalem. The scene in this photograph is one of tranquility and peace. Cows and cattle graze contentedly in the verdant fields below, their silhouettes adding a charming contrast to the temple's grandeur. The sky above is a brilliant tapestry of blue, speckled with wispy clouds. The hilltop, dotted with wildflowers, beckons to those who seek a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Solomons Temple has long been a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Its unique charm and stunning location make it a must-visit attraction in the Peak District. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and serene atmosphere, is a testament to the enduring allure of this Victorian folly.
