What is recorded here

Castle walls remains at Montgomery Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the broken stones still hold the shape of rooms where people argued, loved or waited for news. Maybe the gap in the wall is not damage but an invitation, a doorway left open for everyone who walks past. Imagine placing both hands on the rough edge and feeling the temperature of every lifetime that touched it.
