The story

Believing his widowed father, Pat Doyle, to have killed a man and that the police, having arrested him, will soon come to put him in a children's home, Tommy Doyle, a little cockney boy, runs away from his Bermondsey lodgings and seeks sanctuary within the confines of his dream castle, Tower Bridge. He makes his home in a room at the top of the north tower, coming and going without being seen and, bit by bit, furnishing it with all the ingenuity of a nine-year-old boy. Here, he makes one friend, a seagull he names Sammy.
