Launceston, Castle c.1875

More about this scene
Launceston Castle is of the classic motte and bailey design: a high central tower stands on a mound surrounded by the bailey defences. The apparent slight lean of the tower is no optical illusion, nor is it the fault of the photographer; it actually leans more than three feet in its forty-foot height, and had to undergo serious repair work in the 1960s to prevent it collapsing.
