I've been doing some thinking and I reckon the "Thompson's Folly" was maybe a big old barn like structure made out of metal.
You're correct about the bungalow being owned by a Thompson, I plainly remember hearing that, maybe the construction I'm thinking of had something to do with that family. Please keep in mind that these are the memories of a small boy, but I still try to piece together things that I heard (intentionally or not) . I remember going up the far end of Lussa in a landrover with Mr. Charlie Laing and seeing this big construction, I just can't see it properly in my memories.
I'm thinking just now of Mr. Laing keeping what I remember as being called "Hill Coos" around that area and him referring to one of the beasts as "The Blue Grey". It doesn't make that much sense to me now, just snippets that have stuck with me.
Ouch !
