This post is of the Armory within the White Tower, According to what I've read this is said to be the first museum in Britain. The White Tower was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, it has served as Royal Palace, storage for gun powder, it is believed that the basement was a dungeon. This room is decorated with different types of swords and armor from the Tudor and Stuart Kings. I will be posting several photos of King Henry VIII armor that was on display when I visited the Tower..Tower of London. Enjoy and thanks for the comments and thoughts

I'd love to know the total value of all the guns there. Priceless, maybe. Great shot, Jelly.

Caruso (Braces) just had a post of potentially dueling swans and said they say, "handbags at ten yards over there." Those look like some fine dueling pistols. Good clear capture and I look forward to more Jelly.

Hey,
I got this in VB and gave it a high score, because I think it is an interesting capture, great clarity, good angle.
Nice job!

There's an armory where I work Jelly, but it's a real clinical place, nothing anywhere near aesthetic as this. I have to forward a copy on to the guy who works there. I know he'll love it.
