What is recorded here

Conwy Castle and the portal of the railway bridge from the back is a castle, fort or tower in Conwy, Wales. Perhaps the bridge casts a shadow across the castle walls at sunset. Maybe the stone doorframes watch trains pass like sentinels. Imagine the clatter of wheels echoing through ancient chambers.

A named place photographed at this map point in Conwy.

Conwy Castle was built by Edward I of England between 1283 and 1300 as part of his campaign to subdue Wales. It is important as a prime example of medieval military architecture and a symbol of English dominance in Wales.
