Sheffield Castle

Dare I say it, but the Daily Mirror is not a newspaper I expect to see reporting archaeological discoveries of other than the most spectacular sort. However Google presented me with this online report from the paper about discoveries in Sheffield of more of the remains of the medieval castle of the Furnivals and the Talbots. Along with Sheffield Manor on the edge of the old town the castle was one of the houses occupied by Mary Queen of Scots in her time in England. As the article points out most people think of Sheffield as a modern industrial city and forget, or are unaware of, its medieval history. The report can be read at Archaeologists unearth secrets of lost castle that was destroyed 370 years ago
