This week on Coast Files, Lindsay takes us along the River Thames, passing through the infamous Traitors’ Gate and into the dark history of the Tower of London. From a doomed young queen to a defiant martyr and a conspirator behind a foiled plot, their stories are as tragic as they are chilling. Some were wrongly accused, others undeniably guilty; but they all shared the same fate… once they entered, they never came back.
