Description

View of the south sides of the castle, as seen from the south in the castle grounds. In the centre is a large archway, possibly part of the gatehouse, with two storeys above it, and a squared tower to the right. There is a small door at the bottom of the tower facing eastwards, and three storeys of windows above it. In the foreground is part of the grounds, which were opened in 1889 as a public park and as a Jubilee Memorial to Queen Victoria. There are two benches on the left side, with a man sat on the closest bench, and three figures, two potentially children, on the furthest bench.
