| Summary : The Horse Armoury at the Tower of London was built in 1825 on the site of the Carriage Storehouse which had been erected in 1717 to house gun carriages and stood against the south front of the White Tower. The Horse Armoury had been designed specifically to hold a collection of armour known as the Line of Kings. Its design was heavily criticised as not being in keeping with the noble structure of the White Tower. It took the form of a low, crenellated single-storeyed building measuring 46m long and 10m wide with three towers projecting from its southern elevation with four windows glazed with decorative glass. The building was demolished in 1883. |
