The North side of the castle with a giant sundial in the foreground



This bust of John Flamsteed, the first astronomer royal, is left over from the period (1957-88) when the Castle housed the Greenwich Royal Observatory.



The Folly, built by an early 20th century owner in the style of a Georgian townhouse, is only one room deep. It sits in a clearing of the woods beside a large pond.

Yes, I think the sundial dates from the Royal Observatory period. It looks very late 20th century.

The little gate puzzles me. I can't explain it.
