Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-07-14 08:34:21Copy HTML This time 450 years ago Queen Elizabeth I was on the most famous and costly progresses around England - her two week visit to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester at Kenilworth Castle, 9-27 July 1575. Leicester's renovations and landscaping to Kenilworth plus the Queen's visit itself are said to have cost him the equivalent of around £7 million today. The castle is is ruins today, but the size of the structure in evident.

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-07-14 12:14:42Copy HTML After leaving Kenilworth she stayed at Chartley Hall, the home of the Earl of Essex, not far from where I live. Ten years later Mary, Queen of Scots would be held there, one of the last places she lived in before her trial and execution. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

The Clink prison built in London. A horrible place where executions took place, & the screams of the incarcerated could be heard far & wide. A museum in its place now. That is the origin of "In the Clink" meaning in jail. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-07-14 05:56:39Copy HTML There were actually very few prisoners in there, it was more of a symbolic act rather than anything else. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-07-14 08:16:47Copy HTML Correct Mark but it served the purpose it was meant to. The besieges knew it was almost empty, as there were people in their ranks who had recently been released and as you say, it was symbolic, but symbolism is just as powerful in the right situation as action but put the two together? |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-07-16 07:57:59Copy HTML Narrrr, no two bombs were better deployed, as far as dropping them on the Japanese were concerned, two extras would have been very acceptable, especially to all those millions who suffered death, torture and Japan’s favourite pastime, sadism. |
