Berkeley Castle is a castle in the town of Berkeley, Gloucestershire. The castle's origins date back to the 11th century, being designated by English Heritage as a Grade I-listed building.
The castle, traditionally believed to have been the scene of the murder of King Edward II in 1327, has remained in the possession of the Berkeley family since they reconstructed it in the 12th century, except for a period of royal ownership under the Tudors.
The Berkeley barony having separated from the earldom in 1882, the 8th and last Earl of Berkeley (1865–1942) bequeathed the ancestral seat to his 13th cousin, Captain Robert Berkeley, of Spetchley Park, Worcestershire (1898–1969), whose grandson, Charles Berkeley (born 1968), High Sheriff of Gloucestershire for 2019/20, inherited the castle and estate from his father, Major John Berkeley (1931–2017).
Since 1956, Berkeley Castle has been open to visitors. It also operates as a function venue and has been used in movies and dramas. In recent years it has featured in Wolf Hall and Father Brown.
Costumes worn by characters in the the BBC TV Drama series Wolf Hall which starred Damien Lewis as Henry VIII and Mary Rylance as Thomas Cromwell. Many of the scenes were filmed at Berkeley Castle.

Built from the warm-hued local limestone, Aldwincle All Saints is located in the Nene Valley of Northamptonshire. The Grade 1-listed church was made redundant in 1976 when the parish was merged with that of Aldwincle St. Peter, subsequently coming into the care of The Churches Conservation Trust. The pinnacled tower dates from the 15th century.

The Royal Liver Building is located at the Pier Head and along with the neighbouring Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront.
Opened in 1911, the building was the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been established in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative.
One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, the Royal Liver Building stands at 98.2 m (322 ft) tall to the top of the spires, 103.7 m (340 ft) to the top of the birds and 50.9 m (167 ft) to the main roof.
The Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool with its two fabled Liver birds, which watch over the city and the sea.
The Liver birds are 5.5 m (18 ft) tall. Their added height gives the Royal Liver Building an overall height of 103.7 m (340 ft). A building of skyscraper proportion that was once one of the tallest buildings in the country, the Royal Liver Building is currently the fourth-tallest building in Liverpool.
The Romantic poet John Keats (1795-1821) lived in this Hampstead house between 1818 and 1820. At the time a village separate from London and located high above the metropolis, Hampstead was favoured for its healthier environment. Keats’ time in Hampstead was a productive period, notably being inspired to write ‘Ode to a Nightingale’. Never enjoying robust health, Keats spent the final months of his life in Rome, where he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25.
Keats House was built in a Regency style in c.1815. Threatened with demolition, it was saved by subscription and became a museum dedicated to the poet’s memory from 1925. It is Grade 1 listed.
I regularly dropped into Keats House during the 1970s and 80s. It was a convenient walking distance from home and I was much reminded of the house where I spent my final student year. The Fuchsias in Thwaite Street, Cottingham was built in a similar Regency style around 1820. However, it had been adapted to accommodate 14 rambunctious students and was not conducive to penning Romantic poetry.
