Légende

English Homes No. XLIII: Alton Towers, 1898. 'The Old Castle. Although the present Towers of Alton are completely modern - they were built within the present century - the Manor of Alton or Alveton is a very ancient one. It is clearly to be traced as far back as Doomsday Book and William the Conqueror, and has a traditional ownership extending even further into antiquity. Alton Towers is the crowning feature of a high hill in a romantic corner of Staffordshire'. Edward Rose. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
