These include the Roman foundations, the Wharf, King's Stairs, the Moat, parade ground, and sites of significant historical events such as the "site of block" for beheadings. Notable structures illustrated include the Queen's House, Tower Green, Waterloo Barracks, Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, New Armouries, Hospital Block, and Officers Quarters.
