Launceston Castle, Cornwall · Travel Poster

Launceston has always been the front door of Cornwall, and soon after 1066 the Normans built a castle here on a great green mound to guard the road in from the Tamar. For centuries it served as court and gaol, and in 1656 George Fox, founder of the Quakers, was locked up inside and described it, with feeling, as a nasty stinking place. An original illustration, available in colour or black and white, created for the Ella's Adventures travel poster series. You will also find it in the North Cornwall Heritage Colouring Book, with the full story of the place beside the drawing.
