Description: | The travel writer Celia Fiennes visited Dover Castle in 1697 and commented on the magnificent view and position of Dover castle. She also noted that: ''the Castle is left much to decay and ruinated, only a small apartment for the Governor of three or four roomes, else the whole is spoyl'd, the floores taken up and wanscoate pulled down.'' Daniel Defoe was even less impressed, writing: ''Neither Dover nor its castle has anything of note to be said of them; the castle is old, useless, decay'd, and serves for little." | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Orme, Edwd | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Beaches Water Transport Boats Cartography And Topography Science And Technology Architecture Coastal Views Cliffs Trade And Economics | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Orme, Edward | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
