Does a railroad go through the castle? I saw the article on Conwy Railway Bridge and it looks like the bridge goes right in. -- Awiseman 21:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I need to answer some questions about conwy castle for my homework but i dont know what he answers are. can anyone help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.219.202.8 ( talk) 14:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
I've gone through and given the article a bit of a scrub. I've added the latest academic research from 2010, and upgraded the references to the latest edition of the official history/guide book. With the extra text, I've incorporated pictures throughout the article rather than in a gallery at the end, and have added a plan of the castle. The previous version used several different citation styles; I've used a single style throughout, but if anyone feels I've gone for the wrong one, please shout.

Here is an excellent image of the castle in 1961. Conway castle (5369903401)
@ Hchc2009: What do you think of this image? It's used in Saul's 1997 biography of Richard II for the Yale English Monarchs series (plate 26 - the description is "the earl of Northumberland received by Richard at Conway"). Nev1 ( talk) 14:08, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia article machicolations links here, and says they were only above the main(?) gate. This article mentions the machicolations here being the oldest in Great Britain. Can we see a picture? And/or have a caption note where they are? -- do ncr am 22:07, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
"Cod with Himeji Castle, Hyogo prefecture, Japan at a formal ceremony in Himeji on 29 October 2019" - This is a sentence fragment. What is it supposed to mean? 98.45.190.70 ( talk) 04:16, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
I've been reading this book The Heart of North Wales, Lowe it is free to download online, and I have found relevant for sourcing information to do with Conwy castle, maybe add a 'list of constables' section and amend some prior work with more references ? Cltjames ( talk) 23:53, 18 December 2021 (UTC) I added a list of constables, only there is much more information regarding the castle and the people associated with Conwy available in the link I posted.

Conwy Castle was built by Edward the first year 1283 - 1287 during his conquest of Wales. The castle played an important part in many wars from 1287 - 1245. Conwy castle was destroyed when all the iron and lead was shipped off. 95.140.67.32 ( talk) 08:32, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
