Mr. ALLEN WALKER, 'London's Great Buildings—II, The Tower of London as a Prison'

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

LAST week, Mr. Allen Walker talked of the Tower of London during the earlier part of its long and chequered history, when it alternated between being'a fortress and a palace.
Today he will continue the story in the later i part of its existence, when, from being a State prison where the most formidable rivals to the crown were caged, it sank gradually into its present position of a mere relic-a dummy fortress, a museum of the antique and a peepshow for sightseers on the trail of the past.
