Summary
[edit]DescriptionCaister Castle - the moat - geograph.org.uk - 808727.jpg |
English: Caister Castle - the moat. Caister Castle > 808658 consisted of two rectangular courtyards which were surrounded by a moat and connected via a drawbridge. The inner court housed the state apartments and the main living quarters and was offset by a tower on its northwestern corner. The tower > 808701 is 28 metres tall and measures a good 7 metres in diameter; it has five stories, the spiral staircase still exists and access to the top is possible > 808704. The castle was built in 1432 by Sir John Falstaff on the site of an earlier fortified manor house. Taken by a siege commanded by the Duke of Norfolk in 1469, the castle was returned to its rightful owners in 1475. Part of the surrounding brick wall remains and gunloops as well as arrow loops can still be seen > 808720.
Caister Castle houses the largest private collection of motor vehicles in Great Britain > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/808662 spanning from 1893 to the present time and including the first real motor car in the world, the 1893 Panhard et Levassor, Jim Clark's Grand Prix "R14', Christine Keeler's Cadillac Eldorado, the first Ford Fiesta and the last drophead Morris 1000. One of the more recent additions is a Trabant > Trabant originating from former East Germany. http://www.greateryarmouth.co.uk/caister_castle.htm |
