EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the majestic Hastings Castle, perched on the cliffs above the charming town of Hastings in East Sussex. The image showcases the intricate plan of this medieval keep and bailey castle, providing a glimpse into its rich history. Dating back to Norman times, this formidable fortress has withstood the test of time, witnessing countless events that have shaped England's past. However, nature's fury took its toll in 1287 when violent storms caused parts of the castle to crumble into the unforgiving sea below. This tragic event forever altered its grandeur but also added an air of mystery and intrigue to its story. Photographed by Damian Grady in September 2015, this print offers a unique perspective from above, revealing the strategic layout and architectural details that make this castle truly remarkable. Its imposing walls stand as a testament to human ingenuity and determination throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time; imagining knights patrolling these very grounds or nobles gathering within its fortified walls. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and invites us to explore further into England's fascinating past. Let this photograph be a window into history - an invitation for all who admire castles and medieval architecture alike to appreciate the beauty and resilience encapsulated within Hastings Castle.
