More about this scene
This Norman stronghold was built on a natural mound as an earth and timber castle in the 12th century. The massive stone keep dates from a century later. Although owned by the Crown from 1461, it was in ruins by 1538. George V and Queen Mary visited the castle on 8 July 1912, only to return the following day to offer condolences to the families of the 35 men lost in the huge explosions at Cadeby Colliery. Coronation Park in the foreground includes the memorial to the soldiers of the Great War, and also the town stocks behind it.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen
