Needle's Eye : ウィキペディア英語版 | Needle's Eye
Needle's Eye is a pyramid folly which is situated in Wentworth, South Yorkshire in northern England. == History == It was constructed in the 18th century and believed to have been made in order to win a wager, where the second Marquis of Rockingham claimed he was able to "drive a coach and horses through an eye of a needle". John Carr designed Needle's Eye〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Needle's Eye Listing Record )〕 alongside Wentworth Woodhouse and other follies in the area. Musket holes can be seen on the sides of the structure, most of which are approximately head height; this suggests execution by firing squad has taken place at the building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Britain's Best Architectural Follies )〕
