During the nineteenth century, most of these bodies withdrew, older buildings were repaired and more recent ones were demolished as part of a programme to make the Tower resemble a medieval castle once again. The Crown Jewels and the Armouries were both re-displayed, creating a magnet for visitors. Many previously unpublished images, taken between 1850 and 1950, have been selected by Dr Parnell in order to provide, for the first time, a valuable record of the remarkable transformations which have shaped the \u003cem\u003eTower of London\u003c\/em\u003e on view today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54240499040600,"sku":"9780752450360","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780752450360.jpg?v=1779174929","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/tower-of-london","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
