Traitors_' Gate
Many prisoners of the Tudors entered the Tower of London through the Traitors' Gate. The name Traitors' Gate has been used since the early seventeenth century. Prisoners were brought by barge along the Thames, passing under London Bridge, where the heads of recently executed prisoners were displayed on pikes. Queen Anne Boleyn, Sir Thomas More, Queen Catherine Howard, all entered the Tower by Traitors' Gate. The outer entrance is blocked up, this is the view from inside looking out. Heaven knows what was going through their heads as prisoners were taken in here. Looks inviting doesn't it.
