| What about the curtain walls (Hen III + Ed I)? | Shows development of tower - adds to 'story' of the Tower, no other complete examples of Norman/Medieval concentric castle. London, capital city, helps define English history. A symbol of the nation |
| What about medievalisation? | By Salvin -Turning point from practical use to tourist site |
| What was the Industrial attitude to looking after the tower? | Medievalisation, rebuilding parts of castle to make it look original. Lose changes made by tower, corrupting the 'story' of the tower. Makes it look nice, attracting tourists |
