Perhaps in a historically accurate-ish but gruesome pirate cartoon where it's left to be washed by three high tides.<br /><br />I learned on the walk that many of those bits of orange brick are indeed Tudor and onwards - who knows, the ones at Greenwich may even come from the Palace of Placentia itself.CarolineLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197813252586559665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-22879064647856667892009-06-16T16:58:36.335+01:002009-06-16T16:58:36.335+01:00Loved this Caroline.
