Tulip Stairs at the Queens House Greenwich

In London, the elegant Tulip Stairs of the Queens House in Greenwich were the first geometric self supporting spiral stairs in Britain. Although the stairs are named after tulips, it is believed the flowers in the wrought iron balustrade are actually fleurs de lis. The Tulip Stairs are the location of Rev R. W. Hardys famous ghost photograph, taken on 19 June 1966, which revealed what appeared to be two or three shrouded figures on the staircase.
