OK, then, just to make things difficult we'll start at the bottom...
The Castle Stairs were once the haunt of old boot and shoe shops. The first affair looks a bit too modern, though...
Just round the corner and, ah, that's better. If you look closely you can still see some of the old hooks, etc., from which some of that old apparel would have hung...
And another one. I've no idea what these old shops are now. Anyone out there know?
At last we hit the magnificent Southern Postern Gate, which formerly formed a sneaky little access point through the curtain wall of the castle. The Castle Garth and the Castle Keep lie a few yards further on...
Hold on a minute. What's that off to the side? Looks like the outline of another old gate entrance. Never noticed that before...
And a closer, upwards look at the gateway suggests that there may be a portcullis lodged up there...
Interesting. Does anyone have anything to add?
