Mystery castle
Submitted by Benicek on Mon, 11/02/2009 - 8:50am.
Photo found in an antique market in Lewes, West Sussex, England. Unidentified building on a beach. Women in late 19th century clothing. Bell tents. Possibly a bathing suit lying on the sand. The core of the building appears to be a cylindrical, flat-topped fort, but the oriental styled extensions suggest a more luxurious residence. The bow windows seem European.
Can anyone identify this location? View full image.

Seaside castle
Submitted by tterrace on Fri, 11/06/2009 - 8:18pm.
The fanciful architecture and its location suggest a Victorian-era seaside resort amusement pavilion rather than an actual castle or residence. There were scores of examples in England alone, a few of which survive. I haven't been able to track this one down, and it may not even be in England.
