What is recorded here

Archway Tower is a castle, fort or tower in London Borough of Islington, England. Perhaps it watched the road before cars arrived, standing guard over carts and pedestrians alike. Maybe its stones absorbed heat from summer streets and returned cool shade at dusk. Imagine a keeper climbing spiral stairs to point at distant fires or simply to watch rain move across the roof.
