Items matching castles taken from Cambridge (1920)
castles: A fortified defensive building or structure. Strictly speaking, a castle was also a home, whereas a fort was purely defensive, but I have used castle for any fortified place. A castle may also have had a dungeon or donjon, a sort of prison for offenders and captured soldiers.
Synonyms: fort, keep, garrison

Pictures from Cambridge Described by Noel Barwell and Pictured by E. W. Haslehust [1866 – 1949], Blackie & Son Limited, London and Glasgow, in the Beautiful England series (undated).
Although the book is undated, the Library of Congress and various bookseller catalogues mentioning dated inscriptions indicate a date no later than 1920. The illustrations may still be in copyright, since the books were not produced in the USA, so I have marked them as for non-commercial use only.
