Not when taking that photo you haven't! The keep on the left does look a bit like Kenilworth's keep, but those towers to the right are completely different. I don't know where this castle is, perhaps someone else does? (Someone usually does know!)

type 517 in HC 110

I was a bit annoyed with the results from this roll of film, lots of speckling where the silver appears to have clumped together and a couple of shots where there is distinct banding, strangely dark bands. with this being a "new to me" camera I put in a roll of KM200 just to check it wasn't the cameras fault. However, going back to this roll a couple of weeks later I am appreciative of the film, it has given me a better understanding of flare and contrast in the scenes and their effects. The film has a character,

At a guess I would say that you short on developer and that is an area is thin under developed but unlikely as you have previously said that you go with more than the amount indicated on the bottom of the tank.

Thanks Keith, Kevin also suggested that my development time was too short, I used an old FP4 guide that suggested only six minutes. I will up it next time. (y)

Reverse image search suggests Raglan Castle in Monmouthshire, Wales.
 
I had an Agfa Optima Parat half-frame camera in my display cabinet and finally got round to trying it out. Unfortunately the selenium cell meter is no longer accurate. After a first test of ISO 50 film (Adox HR50) which produced negatives so dense there was almost no image visible, I set the camera ISO to its fastest speed of 400 - still with ISO 50 film - in an effort to get the exposures right.
The results were mostly still unuseable, but I quite like this one. It's a crop of about two-thirds of the half-frame image.

Well Chris that's why I put the question marks as you would know, after posting looked more into the shot and Nige confirmed it was Raglan castle in south Wales, but I couldn't find the same shot, on the net, that I took which was about 30 to 40 years ago for a then and now picture e.g. can you just park anywhere etc.

Here's the castle from Google Streetview:

Looking at the aerial view, I expect you were somewhere near the "P" when you took your picture.
