It looks like someone has put a canopy over the "sideboard" fireplace thing to protect it from the elements. This is a positive sign, and in these troubled economic times could bring more revenue in to the Harewood estate should it be open up for general public access "with a small charge"

Oh yes the secret castle.I'm glad to see works started on the place. It really is too good to keep away from the public.I had a look at the top of the castle and also got some night/light shots herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/sets/7 ... 42/detail/
