The Needle's Eye
Needle's Eye is a 14-metre (46 ft) pyramid folly which is situated in Wentworth, South Yorkshire in northern England.
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 alongside other follies in the area.
Musket holes can be seen on one side of the structure, most of which are approximately head height; this suggests execution by firing squad has taken place at the building.
Needle's Eye is situated between two disused horse and carriage paths. The area is open to public.
It is a pyramid made of sandstone topped with a funerary urn, encompassing an archway of approximately 3-metre (9.8 ft). The wideness of the archway is roughly enough for a coach and horses to pass through, which fits its alleged purpose of creation.
