C is for Castle Yard


The Castle Yard was the "Motte" of a Norman castle and the castle "Bailey" the area which is now the Market Place. Today it forms a link between the outside market and the Courts shopping development created from the conversion of the adjacent former Magistrates Courts building. Stalls line the sides on market days.

    Nice to see that it is being used for another purpose and not just demolished.

    Castes both the structure and the word has a mystical air about them
