Title:
Around Norwich castle
Description:
Norwich Castle was built in 1067 when William the Conqueror (b. 1027, king 1066 - 1087) ordered its construction in order to have a fortification in the city of Norwich, England (William's only castle in East Anglia). Ninety-eight Saxon homes were demolished to make way for the castle. The original structure was a timber motte and bailey type housing standing on a natural rise in the land augmented by an artificial mound. In c. 1100 the motte was heightened, and the surrounding ditch deepened. The square keep was built on top of the motte c. 1120 to serve as a Royal Palace. The construction is Caen stone over a flint core. The Keep is c. 95 ft (29 m) by 90 ft (27 m) by c. 70 ft (21 m) high, and is of the hall-keep type, entered at first floor level through an external structure, the Bigod Tower. Unusually for a utilitarian building of this period the exterior is decorated with blank arcading (Castle Rising is the only other comparable keep in this respect). Although the keep remains, its outer shell has been repaired repeatedly, most recently in 1835-8 by Anthony Salvin, the mason was James Watson. The stone used was Bath stone. None of the inner or outer baily buildings survive. The Norman bridge over the inner ditch was replaced in c. 1825. The castle was used as a gaol from 1220, with additional buildings constructed on the top of the motte next to the keep. These buildings were demolished and rebuilt in 1789-93 by Sir John Soane, with more alterations in 1820. The site ceased to be used as a gaol in 1887 when it was purchased by the city to be used as a museum. The conversion was undertaken by Edward Boardman, and the museum opened in 1895. My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating! There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine! Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/... and http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/... give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film! In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management). My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
