The Bulletin  

FIRST INSTALMENT “YOU'RE WRONG, DELANEY"  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 74—No. 3844  

Wednesday, October 14, 1953  

Price 9d,  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper  

Seppelts  

THE MARK OF STORMY PAST IS LEFT ON CONWAY'S ANCIENT WALLS  

FOR over six hundred years the towers and walls of Conway Castle have  

stood beside the River Conway in North Wales. The castle’s picturesque  

location, reflected in the quiet waters of the estuary, has contributed to its  

air of calm serenity and has tempted artists of succeeding generations to  

portray its imposing beauty.  

Conway owes its origin to Edward (1272-1307), whose policy in  

subiueatine Wales was to establish line of fortresses across the country.  

In 1277 he built Flint and Rhuddlan Castles, followed in 1282 by Conway  

and Caernarvon as he pushed further westwards to establish his authority  

over North Wales.  

The castle stands on high rock which was originally occupied by  

Welsh fort. The walls are from twelve to fifteen feet thick and are flanked  

by eight vast circular towers. Built in the shape of an irregular oblong,  

three hundred feet in length, it is washed by tidal water on two sides and  

one third of the fortress stands within the town defences. Much of this  

fortification remains today, giving to Conway the reputation of being the  

finest example of medieval walled town in Britain.  

Entrance to the castle was gained by drawbridge over deep moat  

and through portcullised gateway which could be easily defen deri.  

features within the castle are the State apartments and the thirteenth-centu  

oratory built for Queen Eleanor.  

Conway’s history began in 1294 when King Edward was besieged there  

during Welsh rising which was due to the first attempt at direct taxation  

for the French wars. The defenders of the castle were almost reduced lo  

famine before they were relieved by the arrival of fleet with provisions.  

It was in Conway that Richard II signed his abdication and the castle  

was again besieged in the Glendower Rebellion of 1401. During the-Civil  

War it was garrisoned for King Charles but surrendered in 1646. Later the  

fortress came into the possession of the Earl of Conway, who removed most  

of the lead and timber from its roof and interior for use in Ireland but the  

vessel in which this material was being conveyed was wrecked and all the  

property was lost.  

The graceful suspension bridge which crosses the river opposite the castle  

was designed by Telford to harmonise with the walls of this ancient fortress.
