Frank Kelly defence march Bradford 10/2/79. I think this was part of the campaign for an equal age of consent for gay men. In 1979 the age of consent for gay men was 21. It was reduced to 18 in 1994 and to 16, in line with the age of consent for heterosexuals, in 2001. Frank Kelly was being prosecuted for having sex with a man who was under 21.

The present remains of the castle include work from about 1114 to about 1476. Created as a defence against the Welsh, the castle fell to the Welsh several times in the twelfth century. Later in its history, it was unsuccessfully besieged by forces of Owain Glyndŵr in 1403 with assistance from soldiers from France and Brittany who captured Kidwelly town. The castle was relieved by a Norman army after just three weeks. The gatehouse was extensively damaged and it was rebuilt on the instructions of King Henry V. It largely escaped involvement in the English Civil War.
The plan of the castle consists of a square inner bailey defended by four round towers, which overlook a semi-circular outer curtain wall on the landward side, with the massive gatehouse next to the river. The river prevents this from being a truly concentric plan, however a jutting tower protects the riverside walls, and the final plan is very strong.
