More about this scene

Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee statue of 1887 replaced a market cross, and it emphasises the 'company town' nature of Royal Windsor – the castle has been a royal residence sine 1075. The keep (with the flagpole) was raised to three storeys and the outer walls and towers refaced in the 1820s; the walls still look remarkably fresh today.

Can't recall if the "old girl" was still standing at the intersection of Castle Hill and Peascod St when I visited in 2010, but she stood there for a great many years.
