Air was still cool, so reasonably clear looking onto the castle, but the 4km distance creates a fair amount of atmospheric haze.

47787 was named Windsor Castle in 20012 and became the standby loco for the Royal Train during the Queen's Golden Jubilee year. When not providing back up to 47798/9 it could be found on more mundane work with the other surviving members of EWS's 47/7's.

The Castle includes the State Apartments that are used today by the Royal Family, the historical rooms that were built for Charles II and private apartments created for George IV. There are many famous, must-see moments within these spectacular rooms, like the colossal Waterloo Chamber, magnificent Crimson Drawing Room and impressive Grand Staircase. With so much royal history and splendour it is possible to walk straight past some amazing treasures, so here are a few to look out for.

 

1. Gaze at the gold

Well it wouldn't be a royal residence without some gold! The magnificent ceremonial rooms which were used by Queen Elizabeth II to entertain guests are luxurious. The most striking is the Grand Reception Room, decorated with real gold and chandeliers. It was once used as the main ballroom in the Castle. Perhaps the most striking piece on display is the large urn, presented to Queen Victoria by Tsar Nicholas I in 1839, and one of the largest examples outside Russia.

 

2. Say hello to Henry VIII

 

Henry VIII's armour

 

This impressive armour was worn by Henry VIII, one of the most iconic and famous Kings of England, and was used in jousting tournaments. The armour could be adjusted to fit the changing waist of the king. You can see it in the Lantern Lobby on your visit to the Castle.

 

3. View a Van Dyck

Come for the majesty, stay for the masters. A visit to the Castle is a chance to see among the world’s greatest collection of paintings including artists such as Hans Holbein, Van Dyck and Rubens. A highlight has to be the remarkable portrait of King Charles I by Anthony Van Dyck. This huge painting of Charles I on horseback portrays as him as ruler, warrior and knight. The Castle is packed with other extraordinary treasures including incredible furniture, vases, and sculpture.

Don’t miss the chance to experience life in miniature with the famous Queen Mary's Dolls' House which is on permanent display at Windsor Castle. An unexpected find at the Castle, the Dolls' house was designed for Queen Mary in 1924 by Sir Edwin Lutyens to showcase the finest artists and craftspeople of the time. You can peek inside the rooms filled with tiny furniture, art, and books, and even electricity and running water. What a childhood dream!

Windsor, Ontario is the southernmost city in Canada. It is located on the southern shore of the Detroit River, directly across the river from Detroit, Michigan. Windsor is a major contributor to Canada's automotive industry and has much to offer by means of a storied history and a diverse culture.

 

Prior to European exploration and settlement, the Windsor area was inhabited by the First Nations and Native Americans. Windsor was settled by the French in 1749 as an agricultural settlement. It is the oldest continually inhabited European settlement in Canada west of Montreal.

 

Windsor's French Canadian heritage is reflected in many French street names, such as Ouellette, Pelissier, François, Pierre, Langlois, Marentette, and Lauzon. The current street system of Windsor (a grid with elongated blocks) reflects the Canadien method of agricultural land division, where the farms were long and narrow, fronting along the river. Today, the north-south street name often indicates the name of the family that at one time farmed the land where the street is now located. The street system of outlying areas is consistent with the British system for granting land concessions. There is a significant French-speaking minority in Windsor and the surrounding area, particularly in the Lakeshore, Tecumseh and LaSalle areas.

 

In 1794, after the American Revolution, the settlement of "Sandwich" was founded. It was later renamed Windsor, after the town in Berkshire, England. The Sandwich neighbourhood on Windsor's west side is home to some of the oldest buildings in the city, including Mackenzie Hall, originally built as the Essex County Courthouse in 1855. Today, this building functions as a community centre. The oldest building in the city is the Duff-Baby House built in 1792. It is owned by Ontario Heritage Trust and houses government offices. The François Baby House in downtown Windsor was built in 1812 and houses Windsor's Community Museum, dedicated to local history.

 

The City of Windsor was the site of the Battle of Windsor during the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1838. It was also a part of the Patriot War, later that year.

 

Ouellette Avenue is the historic main commercial street in downtown Windsor. It runs north-south, perpendicular to the Detroit River, and divides the city into east and west sections. Roads that cross Ouellette Avenue include the directional components East and West after their names. Address numbers on east-west roads in Windsor increase by 100 for each block travelled away from Ouellette Avenue and address numbers on north-south roads increase by 100 for each block travelled away from the Detroit River. In areas where the river curves, some numbers on north-south roads are skipped. For consistency across the city, all address numbers on north-south roads reset at either 600, for streets west of Walker road, or 800 for those to the east, where the road crosses Wyandotte Street (which roughly parallels the Detroit River).

 

Windsor's economy is primarily based on manufacturing, tourism, education, and government services.

 

The city is one of Canada's major automobile manufacturing centres and is home to the headquarters of FCA Canada. Automotive facilities include the FCA Canada minivan assembly plant, two Ford Motor Company engine plants, and several tool and die and automotive parts manufacturers.

 

Windsor has a well-established tourism industry. Caesars Windsor, one of the largest casinos in Canada, ranks as one of the largest local employers. It has been a major draw for U.S. visitors since opening in 1994 (as Casino Windsor). Further, the 1,150-kilometre (710 mi) Quebec City – Windsor Corridor contains 18 million people, with 51% of the Canadian population and three out of the five largest metropolitan areas, according to the 2011 Census.

 

The city has an extensive riverfront parks system and fine restaurants, such as those on Erie Street in Windsor's Little Italy called "Via Italia", another popular tourist destination. The Lake Erie North Shore Wine Region in Essex County has enhanced tourism in the region.

 

Both the University of Windsor and St. Clair College are significant local employers and have enjoyed substantial growth and expansion in recent years. The recent addition of a full-program satellite medical school of the University of Western Ontario, which opened in 2008 at the University of Windsor is further enhancing the region's economy and the status of the university. In 2013, the university completed construction of a $112 million facility for its Faculty of Engineering.

 

Windsor is the headquarters of Hiram Walker & Sons Limited, now owned by Pernod Ricard. Its historic distillery was founded by Hiram Walker in 1858 in what was then Walkerville, Ontario.

 

The diversifying economy is also represented by companies involved in pharmaceuticals, alternative energy, insurance, internet and software. Windsor is also home to the Windsor Salt Mine and the Great Lakes Regional office of the International Joint Commission.

Windsor was recently listed as the number two large city for economic potential in North-America and number 7 large city of the future in North America according to the FDI North-American cities of the future list. (American Cities of the Future 2011/12)

The largest antebellum Greek Revival mansion ever built in Mississippi was constructed in 1859-61. It was four stories with 23 Corinthian columns. The owner, Smith Daniell, only lived in the mansion for a few weeks before he died. The Windsor plantation consisted of over 2,600 acres. It is said that Mark Twain used to stand in the rooftop observatory an muse while overlooking the Mississippi River. He compared it to a college instead of a residence because of its size. He wrote about it in his book "Life on the Mississippi."

 

It was used as a Union hospital and observation post during the war and this is probably why it was spared from being burned by the Union troops at the time. A Union officer, Henry Otis Dwight serving in the 20th Ohio Infantry, sketched a picture in a diary that was later found. This is the only known picture of how it looked before it was burned to the ground in 1890. It is said that the fire was started by a party guest who carelessly dropped a cigarette.
