| A Raphael Tuck "Oilette" postcard from 1912. "Guy's Tower and Entrance Gate. Guy's Tower, in the north-east corner of Warwick Castle, is twelve-sided and rises to a height of 128 feet, surmounted by a machicolated parapet. The view from the top is both magnificent and extensive. The gateway is approached by a stone bridge over the moat, and flanked on either side by octagonal turrets; in the archway the portcullis is still in use, being raised and lowered every morning and night." |
