The kitchen garden ...

... Beaufront Castle - according to Archaeology in Northumberland:
The site is significant in retaining
many of the elements of a classic
kitchen garden which served a
major country house. It was built as
a significant economic unit, up-to-date 
with advancing technology
and tailored to serve the needs of a
large household. Despite alteration
and some degree of dilapidation
the two principal structures remain
attractive and interesting early
Victorian buildings and along with the
subterranean furnace house are of
some technological interest.
