1. The View North Marker

Inscription. The views from the keep have changed dramatically since it was first built. With the advance of the railway and modern industry, the large areas of arable fields and woodlands have been replaced by housing estates, collieries and warehouses. Iron working developed here in the 17th century and the famous Walker's cannons were produced using the mills at Burcroft. The 19th-century collieries of Denaby Main and Cadeby Main drew the workforce from newly bull villages to the north of Conisbrough while the managers preferred to live in grand houses [illegible] of the castle.

[illegible] railway arrived in 1850s and the 465 metre long viaduct (1) is a remnant of the connection between the Hull & Barnsley Railway, Great Northern and Great Eastern lines. The architectural language of the 1951 water tower (2) a testament to the lasting legacy of Conisbrough keep.
