Tattershall has lost its railway, but it still has its castle, and Tom Thumb's house is still on top of a house on the left of the market place.
The castle was rebuilt and the castellated front was added in 1818. Leasowe later became a convalescent home.
To the right, along the curving line of the castle bailey, are S Ball & Sons and the Midland Bank, which has been rebuilt. The Pharmacy in the distance has lost its parapet and urns.
During the 1530s, the rundown defences of Carlisle Castle were renovated in order to house the latest cannon technology; the Botchergate gateway was moved and the Citadel constructed in its place
Throughout the First Civil War, both town and castle were held by the Royalists, and as such was one of the last to surrender.
The first castle was built by Roger de Montgomery and his son, possibly on the site of a native Welsh fortification or fortified settlement.
There is no known record of the history or appearance of this castle, which is situated eight miles south-west of Cardiff.
Sir Robert Lumley was granted licences to crenellate in 1389 and 1392, making Lumley, along with Raby, one of County Durham's two late 14th-century castles.
The Hean Castle Hotel (centre) stands on the corner of Cambrian Terrace and Wogan Terrace. On the right is the Barbecue restaurant, originally Bonville's Court Colliery Office.
Beyond the castle is the tidal mill; it is set on a causeway which dams the Carew River, forming this 23-acre mill-pond.

John Wing's 1811 bridge replaced a medieval one built or rebuilt soon after 1224; the builders probably used stone from the demolished castle, which was destroyed or 'slighted' after a punishing siege
Here Sir John Fastolff, of Caister Castle, is buried.
Tattershall has lost its railway, but it still has its castle, and Tom Thumb's house is still on top of a house on the left of the market place.
Newly-built Durlston Castle (top left) and the 40-ton Great Globe, also dating from 1887, are seen here from the south-east.
However, the ruins of a 14th-century castle in Betchworth Park are seen even less; unfortunately there is no public access to them.
Inside is a 17th-century stone chimney piece bearing the arms of Walter Norborne, MP for the Borough in 1640, which was rescued from Castle House in 1974.
The castle grounds were purchased from Lord Montagu and passed to the people of Clitheroe in 1920. Essential work on the grounds cost £15,000, which was found by fund raising.
Various de Camvilles added to the castle. The great gatehouse and mural towers of the outer ward were probably built during the reign of Henry III.
This scene again shows The Castle Hotel, but from the west.
Before that, it was the site of a castle built before the time of Henry II and held by the Prince of Powys, Owain Cyfeiliog.
By the mid 16th century the castle was semi-derelict: a long stretch of curtain wall had collapsed and at least one floor of the keep had fallen in.
It incorporates cellars cut into the sandstone of Castle Hill.
The whole area has changed almost beyond recognition.The castle walls to the right of the view are now demolished.
