Lincoln Castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1068 on a defensive site occupied since Roman times. To enlarge the site for the new castle 166 houses were demolished. It is one of only two castles in Britain built with two mottes. A square tower was built on the smaller motte in the 14th century and in Victorian times an observatory (seen here) was added. The two mottes were enclosed by immense 12th century walls. The castle acted as the city's prison between 1787 and 1878 with coffin-like pews in the chapel to remind prisoners of their fate and to ensure they could not see each other. This shot was taken from within the castle walls, in the spring, a couple of years ago.
