[MR] Dover Castle restoration article

[Smith CTR Jeffrey C]

The colors are amazing and beautiful -- nothing of the dreariness we are accustomed to seeing in European castles and palaces.

Thanks for sending this!

Friends,

The BBC has a very interesting article on restorations at Dover Castle on today's news web site: 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/kent/8177387.stm . I visited Dover Castle four years ago, and indeed the castle was dreary, and pretty much empty. I wish I could go back now! My only question, is were the walls plastered? Probably, but I note they are just bare stone hiding behind all those tapestries.

Also take note of the links to the right of the story. Some may be of great interest to Scadians. The BBC itself has many history articles, timelines and images. It is well worth spending an evening exploring their subsidiary sites.

Kind regards,
