Windsor Castle, a historic royal residence, has stood as a symbol of British heritage for centuries. In the early 20th century, Castle Hill attracted large crowds eager to witness the departure of King Edward VII in a horse-drawn carriage. This moment was captured in a photograph that became widely circulated as a postcard, with at least one example dated to 1905. While the exact destination of the King’s journey remains unknown, it is speculated that he was en route to a local railway station to greet a distinguished guest. Today, the majestic walls of Windsor Castle continue to dominate the landscape, serving as a testament to its enduring legacy.
