I just never knew about this. The Parliamentarian defences of London, miles of them and forts along the way, funded by the City, Westminster and Southwark with the Guilds volunteering labour. 20,000 people contributed, then ten years after the war, no trace remained. Incredible. The interactive map is useful at bringing it to life.

Didn't know where to put this, apologies if this is well known and I'm the last to know, but as an old resident of the Elephant it hit a history nerd seam in me :cool:
