Highlights of Lincoln Castle
Ready, set, go!
Lincoln Castle
We walked straight on through the arches towards the Castle. Both are opposite each other so it is only a short walk. There is an admission fee for the castle.
The Crown Court Building (still in use today)
For 900 years the castle has been used as a court and a prision.
The Prison
You can walk inside the chapel - prisoners would be seperated from one another in what looks like small cubicles so they could not see each other. Alinging the walls, are rows of newspaper cuttings with stories of some of the prisioners and their crimes. The original door frames can still be seen inside.
The Castle walls are still intact and it is possible to walk around the top of the walls.
From the wall, there are some great photo opportunities of the Cathedral.
On the castle grounds...
The statue was originally 15 feet tall created by Joseph Panzetta but in 1940 due to the war, it was considered to be a hazard to low flying aircraft so it was pulled down and all that remains is the bust of the statue.
Bath House (used as a laundry room)
Even though it was windy and wet for most of the day and my camera decided to play up and give me fuzzy pictures, I still had a brilliant day in Lincoln. I got to explore a lot of the main attractions and managed to capture a glimpse of the beauty of Lincoln. A special thanks to my sister for being a great tour guide and making me super welcome here.
