Tower

by Scott Holcomb
The Tower of London is an internationally famous monument and one of England's most iconic structures. William the Conqueror built the White Tower in 1066 as a demonstration of Norman power, siting it strategically on the River Thames to act as both fortress and gateway to the capital.

In medieval times the moat was sufficient to keep intruders out.
A fence is now necessary . . . to keep visitors out of the moat?
