Rochester Castle [4]
One of the mural towers of the castle. The paraphernalia relates to the Medway Mile event later in the day.
Rochester Castle’s keep was built circa 1127 and still stands 113 feet high, one of the best preserved in either England or France. Damaged in 1215 and repaired, the castle was damaged again in 1262 and not repaired until the following century. In 1381 it was captured and ransacked during the Peasants' Revolt and later fell out of use. Today the castle is in the care of English Heritage and is open to the public. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1336100 A Scheduled Ancient Monument with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1011030
Once having city status, Rochester is a town at the lowest bridging point of the River Medway, some 27½ miles southeast of London. The site has been settled since Neolithic times, but the first bridge was built by the Romans. The town has always been of great strategic importance through its position near the confluence of the River Thames and the River Medway and the mighty Rochester Castle was built to guard the crossing. The town is home to the second oldest cathedral in England.

Castle and Catalpa Tree
The Catalpa Tree by the walls of Rochester Castle is over 150 years old. In 2015 it split and a lot of conservation work was done to save it.
The following https://www.alpharail.co.uk/2016/03/metal-railings-protect-famous-catalpa-tree-in-rochester/ is from the company that made the new railings round the site. It has more on the story, and some extra pictures.
