Site of execution scaffold, Trinity Square Gardens.
According to legend, Britain's protector - variously said to be the mythical Trojan leader Brutus or the head of the ancient king Bran - lies buried beneath Tower Hill and so long as that remains the case the country is safe from invasion.
The hill was also the site of more than 125 executions. One famous ghost story tells of a phantom procession bearing the body of an executed man back to the grim Tower of London.

Last Saturday, the children traditionally visited Facts, a fair in Ghent comparable to ComiCon. After working on great cosplay costumes for a few months, we drove to Ghent. Finally, after an hour and a half of standing in traffic jams, they moved into the exhibition halls.
Heidi and I had decided in advance to explore the surroundings of Ghent this time. After another half hour in traffic jams, we were able to leave the site and drove towards the harbor.
The "Captain Zeppos Park" (look for our album "Kapitein Zeppospark")was our first stop. This is a former inner dock that has now been turned into a park. A small playground, a beach on the water where swimming is not allowed, an old harbor crane that functions as a landmark and some old quay walls. A nice place.
Autumn has now fully erupted here. This makes it rain, strong winds, ... . In short, no weather to chase a dog through. As a result, we searched for some nice places to visit via Google Maps. Places with a roof over our heads. Yet our attention was drawn to a special place.
A former execution site of the Nazis. We couldn't resist visiting this place. With a large umbrella in one hand and my mobile phone in the other, I managed to take some pictures. The inclement weather contributed greatly to the experience of the place.
Quote from Wikipedia:
The Execution Centre Rieme-Oostakker is the place in the Ghent borough of Oostakker where 66 resistance fighters were executed by the German occupiers between 8 February 1943 and 24 August 1944.
Here the memory of the 20 resistance fighters who died at rieme's execution site is also kept alive. That site had to disappear in 1998 because of the construction of the Kluizendok of the port of Ghent. The whole has been transferred to the border area between Oostakker and Lochristi.
The executions were carried out in secret and the victims were buried anonymously. A number of the resistance fighters killed in Rieme were found in a mass grave in Hechtel-Eksel. In addition, German soldiers and Belgian criminals were also executed. Due to these circumstances, it is still unclear how many people died. After the Liberation, the mass grave in Oostakker was uncovered. The victims were identified and buried in their residences. The crosses on the site therefore have a symbolic meaning. Yet the execution site is also a cemetery: in 1952 the remains of 15 West Flemish political prisoners beheaded in Munich were interred.

On this poles the death sentence was horrible and painful. The arms of the victims were tied behind their back by the wrist and they were then hanged on their wrist on the hook of the pole until they died.
