This creation was popularly known as The Thing. Built at Folkestone, the nearest suitable construction site, to facilitate erection of the water outlet pipe at Dungeness A nuclear power station. The base weights were removed and then the whole edifice towed to site. So suggest altering Duchess in the caption to Dungeness!
