Question

Something for the Weekend - Part 187 - Charles' Tower

According to the stone above the door, England's King Charles (the first not the present) stood on this tower, now named Phoenix Tower, in Chester and saw his army defeated. I wonder what it looked like that day in 1645?

I hope this clip is not region restricted: https://www.srf.ch/play/tv/news-clip/video/das-bild-haengt-schief?urn=urn:srf:video:fa88c9fe-0581-49df-996c-8e938b720d32 

It's a very famous German sketch about straightening things. There are a few spoken words, but they are completely irrelevant.

Dave, sometimes we have trouble figuring out if you've given us one of your excellent photos or one of your amazing renders that could pass for a photo. Is this a photo? Either way, it's very nice!

Dean, a clue could be that this was before it all happened.
