Scarborough Castle Barbican (2 x PiPs)

Perhaps better enlarged

The barbican gate and outer defences of the castle viewed from the curtain wall.

The barbican gate tower and bridge were built by Henry III between 1243 and 1245, although the first reference of an earlier barbican occurs in 1175. This surviving stretch of the curtain wall was built by King John between 1202 and 1212, presumably replacing an earlier line of defence.

Many thanks for your interest and kind comment Marie-claire. No so well defended, it fell to the forces of Parliament on the 25th July 1645 during the English Civil War!

Have a good evening, Doug

Marvellous view and shot! I'm amazed I opened it - ipernity has been impossible today (bad yesterday, but impossible today!).
Yours, in frustration, Andy

Doug Shepherd ^club has replied to Andy Rodker ^club

Thanks so much for your kind comment Andy. Yes, I'v found it to be a bit slow and erratic, opening the wrong pictures, not opening at all etc, etc. Hopefully things will improve soon!

I didn't realise the castle covered such a large area Doug. It's a terrific shot, especially from your high viewpoint! I have had problems like Andy for a couple of days now. It has taken ages to open pictures!

All the best, Rosa.

Doug Shepherd ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne ^club

Thanks so much for your visit and kind words Rosa. The walled part of the castle itself seems to have covered about 5-6 acres of the 15 acres of the headland. Hopefully the bugs causing these problems on IP will be eradicated soonest!

Lovely perspective - the views are beautiful Doug. Well captured. I too have had problems for the last two days. I gave up on it yesterday and almost did tonight. Still slow but at least photos are opening eventually. Have a good evening.

A beautiful view and certainly the best place to overwiev this area....what´s that on the wall? A little bench?

5 years ago.

Doug Shepherd ^club

Yes a great viewpoint for all points of the compass. The object on the wall is I think a container for a signal fire. I'm pretty sure that is not at all old, perhaps placed there for some event or other.

Thanks so much for your visit Tanja.

Wow! this is superb Doug, just love the dominant wall leading the eye along rampart. hope that's not a seat at the end ;-)) All the best, Bill.

Doug Shepherd ^club has replied to Bill Robinson / kind… ^club

Thanks so much for your visit and kind comments Bill, much appreciated. Not a seat bill;-)) I think it is a container for a signal fire or similar. Certainly not original and perhaps placed there for some re-enactment or other event.

All the best, Doug
