Scope & content
Sepia-tinted postcard showing a view in the Castle Gardens, Norwich. Ink: [personal message] [address in Morpeth supplied]. Norwich Castle was built in the late 11th century, but was used as a prison from 1220 to 1895, when it was converted by Edward Boardman into a museum. The moat was turned into public gardens, probably at the time of Anthony Salvin's restoration of the keep in the 1830s
