kaytie   11 #43 Posted June 24, 2018 Why would you want to go up there when there's a far more impressive folly a few miles away. Hoober Stand is far better and not only that, it sits on the highest point in the area, commanding amazing views of the surrounding area. Also, Hoober Stand is already open to the public, be it not very often.  Anyone know when? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

johnlittle   10 #46 Posted June 24, 2018 Used to go up Keppel's Column in the 1950s on a Sunday summer evening's walk after attending church at Shiregreen. I think it cost one old penny. Remember it quite well and the simple pleasure it provided in those days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
