THE FOLLY', OSBORNE HOTEL & LORETO CONVENT
1977Colour print of a classical garden folly in light stone colour. In the front, the highly decorated pediment is supported by six columns. The lower part of each end is enclosed between the square pillars: the upper part is arched. The rear of the shallow structure has three large arches. The folly abuts a road/cycle path? and is overhung by trees. Through the folly are glimpses of the river.
The Folly formed part of the large lattice work shadehouse/conservatory in the Osborne Hotel grounds. It remained when cost of upkeep forced demolition of the rest of the building. It was moved and preserved by the Holmes a Court family who later developed the site.
