Poster, British Railways (London Midland Region), 'Skipton Castle' by Greene, 1958. Illustration of Skipton Castle, Yorkshire at the top; text reads: 'Skipton Castle, on its rocky eminence is a fine example of a fully roofed massive medieval fortress, with an attractive 15th-century Courtyard and Tudor Gatehouse. Built by the Normans as a protection against Scottish raids, the Castle's colourful history includes its epic three years' siege by the Roundheads. It is now preserved for public enjoyment'.
