EDITORS COMMENTS
"Basking in the ethereal glow of a moody Lancashire sky, Hartshead Pike Tower stands proudly atop its namesake hill in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester. This circular, conical structure, a testament to the region's rich history, is a Grade I listed building and a cherished landmark in the area. Dating back to the 15th century, the tower, also known as the Lancet Tower, was originally built as a hunting lodge for the powerful Radclyffe family. As the sun sets and the heavens come alive with a symphony of clouds, the tower's ancient stones seem to breathe in the atmospheric energy of the sky. The once imposing structure, now a tranquil and mysterious silhouette against the ever-changing backdrop, invites the viewer to ponder the stories it could tell if only it could speak. The conical roof, a distinctive feature of the tower, is a nod to the region's architectural heritage, while the intricate lancet windows add an air of elegance and sophistication. As the elements dance around it, Hartshead Pike Tower remains a beacon of history, a reminder of the past, and a source of inspiration for generations to come." Samantha Jones, Historic England.
