Description:This view shows the east front of Bladon Castle, near Newton Solney and Burton-upon-Trent. Bladon Castle was originally built as a folly in a neo-Gothic style in 1779 by leading architect Jeffrey Wyatville for Abraham Hoskins of Burton-upon-Trent. It was built on the summit of Bladon Hill which formed part of the Newton Hall estate and was designed to give the appearance of a large castle with battlements, although it was actually little more than a single long wall. The structure remains (January 2024) and looks down towards the River Trent; it can be seen from the Newton Road, B5008. In later years part of the building was converted into a private house.
