Tonbridge, The Castle 1951

More about this scene
The formidable 13th-century gatehouse of the castle, with four massive circular flanking towers and four portcullises in the entrance, stands on the site of a former Saxon fortress. Richard de Clare, a kinsman of William the Conqueror, initiated the castle's construction in 1070. But the family, who were the most powerful in England during the Middle Ages, were constantly in conflict with the king, and the building was finally rendered indefensible by the Parliamentarians during the Civil War. The adjoining Gothic mansion was built by a Mr Hooker in 1793, and is now a local government office.
