This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1978, features a large-scale illustrated visitor information sign at Warwick Castle, Warwickshire. The archival image documents a unique pictorial map designed to resemble a jigsaw puzzle, set against a green landscape background with the River Avon flowing through the centre. The sign includes a numbered key titled “This is what there is to see and do:”, listing sixteen major attractions including the State Rooms, the Clock Tower and Barbican, Guy’s Tower, and the Armoury. The illustration also highlights family-friendly features of the era, such as a children’s adventure area, a miniature railway, and a riverboat. Notable historical features like the Dungeon and the Ghost Tower are listed alongside modern amenities like the Conservatory Cafeteria and a licensed restaurant. The playful, graphic style of the sign reflects late 1970s heritage site branding and tourist engagement. This factual record preserves the visitor experience and site layout of one of England’s most famous medieval castles as it appeared in 1978.
