Since then it has served as a prison, a palace, and a citadel. During the reign of Henry VII part of it became a menagerie, and it was one of the citizens' entertainments to watch a bear being led to the water's edge to catch salmon. It is now over a century since a Thames salmon was caught—although as late as the 182os the fish sold at Billingsgate were all caught locally.
