subbing Odiham Castle

Hi bob

I've just subbed this Entry - the only thing to note was that I took our the reference to the map as it didn't really show the castle well enough, unless you can make your PC zoom in for a really close look. I tried to locate this castle on Google maps, but had no real luck.

Perhaps if you think of an alternative the Curators can add it later?


Here's the reference that I removed:

A superb site map of Odiham castle can be found at http://www.hart.gov.uk/north_warnborough_cam2-3.pdf

Bob - do you have a photograph of these ruins? Or, could you scan the portion of the map, and redraw it, with just the ruins and the river and canal?

I suppose a map reference might be useful too, although you've given pretty clear directions to the site.

I did find the castle, previously, on Google maps - but it was very blurred, so am not sure whether it would be a help to people or not.

Would there be a council website which has any info about this ruin?
