What do you know about Hodson's Folly at Coe Fen?

As you cross the foot and cycle bridge to Coe Fen from Sheep's Green you may have noticed a small walled riverside area containing an old boathouse and a roofless folly. This is known as 'Hodson's Folly' after the Mr. Hodson who apparently built it in the 19th Century as a private area in which his daughters could bathe in the River.

The Heritage Working Group of CambridgePPF are currently considering ways to rescue this walled area from neglect and would be extremely interested in any information regarding its history and past uses.
We would especially appreciate old photographs and other images of the site.

Can you help?  Please contact us with information and images.
