I think it's a great idea, whimsical without being overly precious. It must have turned more than a few heads.

Also the comment about the noise, surprisingly it really isn't noticeable at all. Not sure about the boat trips though as that section of the canal has a layer or weed/sludge about a foot thick! And obviously it is not a folly, that word is seemingly just used because it sounds quaint. Overall though, a really nice intervention.

They basically built a deconstructable cinema! A nice one though, but not a folly. The minute you use a folly as a cinema, it’s not a folly anymore…. They basically built a deconstructable cinema!
