Memorial Grondwetsherziening van 1848 in The Hague

You're standing in the Heulstraat in The Hague, a short little street between the Noordeinde and the Kneuterdijk. Short, but centuries old. And the name gives away its past. A heul is a small wooden bridge. The Haagse Beek, a stream, once flowed from the Zeestraat along the Noordeinde, right through this street and into the Hofvijver pond. To get into the street, you crossed it on one of those bridges.
