Despite a grim
reputation for a place of torture and death, there
are so many more stories to be told about the
Tower. This powerful and enduring symbol of the Norman
Conquest has been enjoyed as a royal palace,
served as an armoury and for a few years in the 1830s even housed a zoo! An
intriguing cast of characters have played their part: including the dastardly jewel-thief
Colonel Blood, tragic Lady Jane Gray and maverick zoo keeper Albert Cops.
