More about this scene
Built of red sandstone, the city walls form a circuit of two miles around the old city. The north and east walls follow the line of those of the Roman fortress; those on the west and south were moved so that more land could be incorporated within the city's defences. Also known as the Phoenix Tower, it was from here on 24 September 1645 that King Charles watched the Battle of Rowton Heath which took place just outside the city walls.
