Castle mound and St George's Tower at dusk
The castle was built in the 1071 by Robert D'Oyly to enable William the Conqueror to control the Upper Thames valley. It is thus one Oxford's very oldest buildings but most of the structures have gone leaving only the motte or mound itself (right) with a well-chamber inside, and St George's Tower behind which became incorporated into the County Gaol (it contained the condemned cell).
Recent innovations have turned these forbidding remnants of the past into a recreational area.

Across Quaking Bridge, Oxford
Viewed from St Thomas Street looking towards Tidmarsh Lane. The bridge spans Castle Mill Stream.
In the background are the castle mound and the top of the spire of Nuffield College.
There is a 7.5 tonne limit across Quaking Bridge. There has been a bridge of some sort here since at least the late 13th century, so the name presumably refers to an unstable wooden predecessor.

Castle, Oxford
A partial view St George's Tower from the top of the neighbouring castle mound. The tower was built in 1074, of coral rag stone. It is 30 x 30 feet square (9m × 9m). It is the tallest of the castle's towers, perhaps because it may have provided defensive cover to the approach to the city’s former west gate. In the distance are the present day suburbs of Osney, New Osney, New Botley and Botley.

Castle Mound, Oxford
Oxford castle was built in 1071. St.George's Tower and the Mound are about the only visible remains. The Mound is open to the public, and a small fee is charged (£1.00 in 2009). Whoever "planted" two trees, near the top of the Mound, was no gardener; otherwise the number would have been one, or three. Very confusing for a photographer, but too good a day to waste this scene.

Castle Mound, Oxford
The Mound dates from the building of the castle, in 1071. Two trees are growing near the top of the Mound; one, plus the steep slope on the side of the Mound, can be seen in this photograph. The spire of Nuffield College is just the other side of New Road.
