DescriptionScrabo Tower near Newtownards (6) - geograph.org.uk - 1398819.jpg
English: Scrabo Tower near Newtownards (6) The upper floors of the tower. Although designed by Lanyons practice it is said that the drawings were done by WH Lynn. Another point of interest is that the budgeted price was £2,000 but the final cost amounted to £3,010 (using a source on the internet, the 2008 equivalent of £3,010 in 1865 is appx £1.8 million). Whether all the extras were allowed is another matter but its recorded that the contractor became insolvent. It might have cost even more had the tower been built as originally designed. One storey was removed from the plans to reduce costs.
