Corfe Castle, Dorset, UK. 17th January 2015. When Corfe Castle was eventually taken in a second seige in 1645 by the Parliamentarian forces of Cromwell, the victors went about partly demolishing the castle to prevent the Kings forces from ever defending it again. They undermined many of the foundations and exploded gunpowder in the breeches. This is dramatically seen in this inner gateway, where the structure is torn assunder and the tower on the left collapsed and settled almost six feet under its original position.
