Wanlockhead is a village first mentioned in Dorothy Wordsworth's writing as she ecounters some children from the town, who she notes are barefoot but educated. After the children depart, the party soon comes across another child, who seemed malnourished and sick with "the itch." Wordsworth uses this child as an example of, "proof that there was poverty and wretchedness among these people, though we saw no other symptom of it." At the time, Wanlockhead was a minig town, which Wordsworth and her group remark on after seeing a large machine that hauled water out of the mines.

The Tower of London is a famous piece of British architecture on the north bank of the River Thames. The White Tower is perhaps the most well-known aspect of it and is the namesake of the building itself. The Tower of London is home to the crown jewels of the British royal crown, a tradition that began during the rule of Henry III. The castle is often associated with torture and violence, accompanied by a piece of legend that Julius Caesar built it. It is also said that the ghost of Anne Boleyn haunts the tower after her execution on its ground in 1536.
