Thanks Derek - tell your friends and please look out for our 3d VR experience on a free app ( you will need a Samsung or googlecardboard headset) but you will be able to take part in a Christmas Feast at Northampton Castle in 1217.

I used to work in the castle yard sidings just up from the station, does anyone know where they lie in relation to the castle?

[@mariedickie9258]

The sidings to North of station building would have been part of the castle outer bailey. The river had been diverted into a canal so some of the railway was actually built on river bed.

@@mariedickie9258 thank you Marie, so the castle yard sidings was inside the castle walls? im really interested to find out more about this as i worked there for years and never knew about the castle/

[@mariedickie9258]

The castle walls changed over 400 years of existence, but it's likely that the sidings were within the castle boundary.

Northampton museum has an online lecture with the local archaeologist Andy Chapman on our lost castle 10th August.
