Hylton Castle, Sunderland - a photo on Flickriver

            It's fourteen months since I was last inside Hylton Castle, just after the New Year 2018. Back then, the interior was essentially an open void, filled with recently erected scaffolding. Work had been underway for a few weeks on a project to transform a long-standing derelict shell and bring it back into use – it had been years in the planning.
I've been back to see the latest progress and it's fair to say I was truly impressed.
The main work has been completed and it's now just a case of sorting out the final fixtures and fittings and getting ready to name the official opening date.
The 'Hylton Castle Project' is set to breathe new life in to this Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument, creating a new community-based, heritage-led visitor attraction.
I took a few photographs on my latest visit and I hope this selection helps convey something of what has been achieved.

Looking up at the exterior as you approach the building, a new path draws your eye towards the castle and you immediately notice the building has windows and there are lights on inside!
