More about this scene
The stone drawbridge entrance to the Great Gatehouse to the palace was buried when Charles II had the moat filled in. The Ministry of Works had the moat dug out again in 1909-10, and discovered Henry VIII's bridge. It lacked the parapets on either side, which were rebuilt, together with the supporters of the royal arms, known as the King's Beasts. The Beasts were renewed in 1950.
