In the Victoria times, in order to attract interest and bring more visitors to a place, merchants would often build monuments that looked old and interesting.The obelisk you see at the back is one of such constructions. It was built over a 100 years ago by a local Canterburian merchant.

Interesting information, and here I always thought it was purely for decorative purposes. Economic gain was the goal, then, apparently.
That's very interesting about the obelisk.
And I love your colorful salad in the previous day's photo.
I had never heard this before. Who built this one, do you know?
I've not been stalking you for a couple of days cos I've been away on holiday at the fine resorts of Broadstairs, Hastings and Eastbourne... lol
