More about this scene
Scarborough Castle, on the skyline, once stood 100 ft tall, with walls 12 ft thick; the keep was positioned in such a way so as to command the approach to the causeway leading to the castle. Any attacking force attempting to enter the bailey would first of all have to run the gauntlet of defending fire from the keep's battlements. Scarborough endured two determined sieges in 1645 and 1648; on both occasions the garrison surrendered to the Roundheads.
