These are my pictures from the trip to 'tha Toon' yesterday.
In Eldon square, the Kynren 'Vikings'.
On to the castle...
The Castle 'Barbican' a fortified gateway, such as at an outer defense perimeter of a city or castle, or any tower situated over a gate or bridge which was used for defensive purposes.
Looking left towards the keep.
Kids! - you need a scaling ladder!!!
The grandiose entrance to the 'little shop'.
ECW archeology.
Medieval pottery found in 'the Midden' (a refuse heap)
Medieval tools and arrow heads.
Roman pottery and small items.
The corner books...
...on the corners of the Northumberland Medieval map.
The castle as it would have been in medieval times.
AAGH! - A skeleton soldier!
The poster explaining besiegement.
On down to the cellar.
...and the 'Royal' chapel.
Woman in chains, woman in chains...
Megan taking stock!
Modern cleaning materials!
LOL!
The little tableau.
The Great Hall.
(Grandparents included for scale)
The little chapel.
Ooo- arrowslit!
Down the corridor to find...
...another arrowslit!
Ok, but where is the 'unwell' room?
The well.
The sign is confusing, talking about a Roman looking from here to see the Roman bridge.
Finally, on the roof!
...and from the little tower...
And finally...
...the rusty archer!
Fun day out!
