A View From The Tower: Stories of Old Wallasey (History of Wallasey)

Product Information

So, if you are wondering what to do in Florence, why not put the Palazzo Vecchio at the top of your list? Looking for more things to do in Tuscany? The innermost ward encloses an area immediately south of the White Tower, stretching to what was once the edge of the River Thames. As was the case at other castles, such as the 11th-century Hen Domen, the innermost ward was probably filled with timber buildings from the Tower's foundation. Exactly when the royal lodgings began to encroach from the White Tower into the innermost ward is uncertain, although it had happened by the 1170s. [15] The lodgings were renovated and elaborated during the 1220s and 1230s, becoming comparable with other palatial residences such as Windsor Castle. [22] Construction of Wakefield and Lanthorn Towers – located at the corners of the innermost ward's wall along the river – began around 1220. [23] [nb 1] They probably served as private residences for the queen and king respectively. Bethnal Green, ed. (1998). "Stepney: Early Stepney". A History of the County of Middlesex. Vol.11.

Collins visits Farah's school teacher who disputes the portrayal of Farah being unhinged and tells Collins that Farah spent two years in a refugee camp. Meanwhile, Younes claims Hadley made racist remarks to Farah; Collins discovers that in separate statements Adama both ignored Younes' allegation and then denied it. Farah tells Collins that her phone recorded Hadley's comments, so Hadley confiscated it. DCI Baillie, Shaw's superior officer, following an argument with Collins, eventually authorises her request for a search warrant for Shaw's house.

Weir, Alison (2008). Henry VIII: The King and His Court. New York: Ballantine Books. ISBN 978-0-345-43708-2. The White Tower is a keep (also known as a donjon), which was often the strongest structure in a medieval castle, and contained lodgings suitable for the lord – in this case, the king or his representative. [10] According to military historian Allen Brown, "The great tower [White Tower] was also, by virtue of its strength, majesty and lordly accommodation, the donjon par excellence". [11] As one of the largest keeps in the Christian world, [12] the White Tower has been described as "the most complete eleventh-century palace in Europe".

Embarrassingly, since we’re locals, we were the only people we knew who hadn’t actually got round to it. Installed in 1999 as a temporary observation wheel to celebrate the Millennium, the Eye has become a London landmark itself and is still here nearly 20 years later. What can you see from the London Eye? This is my personal favourite. It might be my frugal Northern soul but this folks is a free and fabulous high view of London. Plus it has the added options of coffee, drinks, restaurants, an indoor garden to admire – and lifts! You just have to be organised and book your visit a week or two ahead. The down side of this is that you can’t predict the weather (except in the case of Summer 2018 in which London has been reliably roasting week after week). If you book a table in one of the restaurants you get the views thrown in. What can you see from the Sky Garden? After the Great Fire, houses in the city were restricted to heights of 3 or 4 storeys so the Monument would have towered above them. Nowadays, at 160 feet high, the viewing platform doesn’t make quite the same statement. It is eye to eye with St Pauls and Tower Bridge but the river view is obstructed in places by buildings which wouldn’t have been there in the 1700s. The nearby Walkie Talkie looms a bit too. Best not to think what Sir Christopher would have made of that. The viewing platform of The Monument. That’s the Walkie Talkie, soaring skyward over Ed’s shoulder. a b c d e f g Lawes, Ruth (9 November 2021). "Constructing The Tower". Drama Quarterly. Archived from the original on 17 February 2022 .

By the 18th century, the menagerie was open to the public; admission cost three half-pence or a cat or dog to be fed to the lions. By the end of the century, that had increased to 9 pence. [174] [181] A particularly famous inhabitant was Old Martin, a large grizzly bear given to George III by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1811. [182] [183] An 1800 inventory also listed a tiger, leopards, a hyena, a large baboon, various types of monkeys, wolves, and "other animals". [184] By 1822, however, the collection included only a grizzly bear, an elephant, and some birds. Additional animals were then introduced. [185] In 1828, there were over 280 representing at least 60 species as the new keeper Alfred Copps was actively acquiring animals. [186] a b Singh, Anita (8 November 2021).
