1517 The Assult on Wark Castle, on the English side of the river Tweed. Albany’s task force appeared on the Scottish bank of the Tweed on 29th October. Albany’s force spent the Saturday through to the following Monday preparing for an assault and bombarding the outer defences. Built by Walter Espec in the 12^th Century and Wark was first called Carham. Wark featured in many of the forays across the border as it guarded one on the main crossing points of the river Tweed. Wark was besieged in 1126, 1138 and 1139 all of which eventually led to it being reconstructed in 1157. However all this work was in vain as again Wark was burnt by the Scots in 1399. In 1513, prior to Flodden, James IV had bombarded Wark into submission along with Norham, Etal and Ford. After Flodden, Henry 8^th commissioned Lord Dacre to redesign the castle in line with the latest defences against modern artillery in acknowledgement of its strategic importance. Thc castle hexagonal plan with five storeys and as the Duke of Norfolk described:

‘in each of which there were five great murder holes, shot with great vaults of stone except one stage which is timber, so great that bombards can be shot from each of them’.

The top floor was strong enough to withstand the use of artillery and the rooms underneath housed  provided lodgings for 40 men. A series of trapdoors allowed for the raising of powder and ammunition from the stores in the basements. The main keep was surrounded by a curtain wall or ‘The Ring’, some 7m [meters] broad flat hard standing and whose wall was broken by 12 ‘embrasures’ capable of taking cannons. The ‘Ring’ was entered by means of a steep staircase leading to an inner ward. This in turn led to an outer ward, the walls of which lay along the bank of the Tweed. Two gatehouses in this outer defence allowed for the traffic to pass along a trackway which ran parallel to the riverbank, which leddown to theford. The gatehouses in turn were three storeys high with a porter’s lodge in each and a vaulted entrance. The wards were designed as sanctuary for the local population when Scottish raiders were at hand and could hold numerous wagons and up to 1000 horses. www.bolb.org.uk

Poster. The movie features The Diogenes Club is a fictional gentleman’s club created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in the ‘Greek Interpreter’ from 1893. The Diogenes Club was co-founded by Mycroft Holmes, and located in London. The club rule was ‘no talking is, under any circumstaneds, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion.’ This rule of silence, was adopted in the ‘QUIET’ cars on the U.S. Amtrak railroad, where cell phones are banned, and talking is banned. The movie, which is set in 1885 features the club up and running at that time, therefore the Club must have been kept secret until it was revealed in 1893.

The Sherlock lore is that the fictional club was founded as a front for the fictional British Secret Service, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) ane MI6 (Em ‘eye’ Six) Military Intelligence Section 6. According to Wikipedia, the fictional MI6 was officially acknowledged in 1994, of course it was. Gullibility knows no bounds.
