Nice photo Norman. The keep was built in 1172, designed by a Frenchman named Mmaurice and built for Henry II. He never visited the keep. The battlements were a later addition by John Dobson. The Black Gate is named after Patrick Black and built in 1247. Hostory has ot that it once housed 67 families. Both buildings are well worth a visit. However, it is a bit more than the tanner (6d) I used to pay in 1957!

I agree Joseph and its a shame I have to do that,
but I have learned over many years if I don't watermark my photos they end up on Face Book local Websites and I never get credited.
One local man who I wont name has used loads of pics from my collection in his Youtube Slideshows.
