What is recorded here

Conwy Castle from the railway is a castle, fort or tower in Conwy, Wales. Perhaps its stones watched centuries of tide and traffic before they watched trains. Maybe the castle still stands because it refused to leave. Imagine the rails carrying people past a place that has already outlived every kingdom that built it.
