Fonthill Castle and Moravian Tile Works

Oh wow, thats so awesome

I heard about this place from a guy who grew up near it. To make arched ceilings, he would build a rough platform, and pile dirt and then sand into the ceiling shape he wanted. Then they would place tiles face down into the sand, lay down some steel mesh and pour concrete to make the ceiling and the floor above.

Now just how are some of those book accessed? 🙃

The balcony doesn't go far enough. 😱
