During WWII allotments sprang up on every available piece of land - including the moat of the Tower of London, but allotments have been around for an awful lot longer. The earliest allotments existed around Birmingham since 1732! the-east-end.co.uk #eastend #History

If you woke up refreshed his morning, think what it must have been like for the occupants of Victorian 'Coffin Beds' in a doss house. These ranged from a tuppenny bed (for bed only) or a fourpenny bed (which included food) - the alternative was the penny sit up - or tuppenny rope

reading Melman's 'The Culure of History' ... apparently torture-focused tours of the Tower of London were partly the result of popularity of Ainsworth's 1840 historical novel; I'm assuming they don't get the thumbscrews & axe out so easily these days? health and safety gawn mad.

I really do have the best job! Last week I viewed the 14th century paintings in the Byward Tower. Here the Archangel Michael weighs souls on a scale of judgement. It must have provided a great anti-corruption lesson for workers @RoyalMintUK @TowerOfLondon

To mark the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, at 1pm BST today a 96-round gun salute began firing from the @TowerOfLondon and @HillsCastle. One round fired for each year of The Queen's life.
On this day 30 August 1896, William Battman (319) became a Yeoman Warder here at the Tower replacing John Farrow (139), he had been a Sergeant Major (Warrant Officer) Army Service Corp. He had seen service in the Zulu wars and Egypt.
13 Sept 1960, a Raven called "Grog", came to the Tower, from North Wales. In 1981, the Governor instructed that Grog & Merry be allowed to grow their feathers. After 21 years Grog decide to leave and go a pub called the "Rose and Punchbowl" pub.
