The Waterloo Barracks were built during the time that the Duke of Wellington was Constable of the Tower (1826-52). The Building was originally built to house up to almost 1000 soldiers. Today the building's purpose is split between the barracks (the left side of the Clock) and the Jewel House (to the right of the Clock) The Crown Jewels were moved to the Jewel House in 1967 and has jewels and Coronation Regalia dating back to the reign of Charles II (1660). Most of the Coronation Regalia in the jewel House is used today when a new Sovereign is Crowned. When I saw the Crown Jewels (unfortunately no photos are allowed)I was in awe of all the things that I saw .. It was amazing.

That a handsome building, Jelly. You have brought out the textures of the brick nicely, and the colors a great, too. I like the angle of the shot. Good work.

EDSEL RULES!
The textures do look great in this one Jelly. I am liking your Tower of London Tour. It looks a lot different from some of the barracks where I stayed.
It is good to protect the Crown Jewels.

A number of things jump out here: the crenelated tops of the structure clearly indicate it's time period, I see the guard from your other posting, that clock allows me to see you were there in the morning and the structure probably faces south, and the third-floor windows in the upper left are clearly showing the detail of the windows' interior framing structure, something that is lost in all the other that show only black. A nicely detailed shot for any devotee of architecture (which I am, thank you).
