Not sure about that. Did the builder of the Hippodrome imagine his bronze horses would one day adorn St Mark's in Venice? Did Vanburgh imagine that the 9th Duke of Marlborough would stick a Sky Plus aerial on the roof of Blenheim Palace?*

*Not that I know said Duke did so, of course, am just being flippant
