A fine view of the Banqueting Hall here. It's
about 65ft long and is dominated by two mountains of rubble - one in front of
us sloping up to the back wall and the other to our right, coming down from an
arch in the side wall. Both slopes of rubble have been there for decades, the
result of people knocking holes in the ground surface above and pouring the
remains of building work down to avoid tipping fees. Imagine the possibility of
what passageways and other features may be found if the rubble was cleared
...
Note also the fine brickwork in the arched
ceiling - intact after some 180 years. |
