Broadway Tower, England.
Looks replica-ish to me.
Yes, it looks like an 18th or 19th century neo-Gothic folly.

A “petroglyph” (new word to me) from 8000BC.
As interesting, if not more, is Göbekli Tepe, which has archeologists stumped.
It is a fully formed neolithic temple, which somewhat predates any stone founded city, and has no indication of the sort of human habitation needed to organize, build, and service a temple cultus. It seems to have been built by hunter-gathers (pre village, pre agrarian), who yet had 3 dimensional plastic art form of animals carved out of stone, rather than petroglyphs which were carved into stone.
10,000 year old art -- for reference these are more than twice as old as the Pyramids at Giza.

Speaking of VW's. My family had a 1957 (or '58) VW. It had no fuel gauge, rather an auxiliary tank. You had to keep track of how far you had driven since the last fill up to know when to gas up.
You did have an auxiliary fuel tank, with a gallon's capacity.
That changed in 1962 with a real gas gauge.

Movie was average. The story behind Sutton Hoo is nucking futs on a number of levels.

@jon-nyc He's probably trying to work out where to put the drum solo so he can take a quick bio-break

I think it's more likely that he was thinking about how to make the piano part hard enough such that people like @jon-nyc don't attempt to botch through it.
