Tower of London under siege during the riots of November 1830. A mob of men, women and children armed with pea shooters, bad eggs, rotten fruit and kitchen and bedroom slops are attacking the Tower, which appears out of a cloud of smoke. Riots on a huge scale were expected on Lord Mayor's Day 1830 but did not develop.
