🤓 Fun Facts
The core of Bruce Castle dates to the 16th century, with later additions—its octagonal Tudor tower is distinctive in London.
Rowland Hill, key to the Penny Post, had educational ties on the site—hence strong postal collections.
Founded as a public museum in the early 20th century; admission remains free.
