EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from January 18th, 1962, takes us back to a pivotal moment in the history of Caerphilly Castle. The medieval fortification, nestled in the heart of South Wales, stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance and strategic prowess of its time. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an ambitious endeavor to extend the castle's moat. A construction crew can be seen diligently working on this monumental task with their trusty digger. As they delve into the earth surrounding the castle walls, they uncover layers upon layers of history buried beneath. Built during the 13th century by Gilbert de Clare, Caerphilly Castle boasts an awe-inspiring concentric design that has fascinated historians and visitors alike for centuries. Its imposing presence and sturdy Pennant sandstone structure have weathered countless storms throughout Welsh history.
