... that Lund's Tower (pictured) could have been a £62 million 21st birthday present?

Alt 1: ... that Lund's Tower (pictured) is called "the pepper pot"?

Comment: SagaciousPhil knows QPQ isn't needed, but has offered it nonetheless. An alt image could be File:Lund's Tower on Earl Crag - geograph.org.uk - 1091689.jpg, what does the reviewer prefer?

cute article on good sorces. I am not happy with the hooks, the first because of "could have been", the second because of "is called", - I looked up by whom and found the locals, who don't even say exctly which is salt and which is pepper ;) - I learned folly, can you word something around it? And/or say what Lund means, - so far I knew only a town in Sweden. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:08, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Gerda. The other monument is an obelisk so would be the salt pot! I'm not sure how the family name of Lund came about - unbelievably there doesn't seem to be much in the way of easily accessible references about the family, amazing considering their evident wealth! What about ALT2 below? SagaciousPhil - Chat 16:30, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that Lund's Tower is one of two Yorkshire follies collectively known as "The Salt and Pepper Pots"?

ALT2, tweaked, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:45, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
