Partially destroyed by an explosion in 1684, Clifford's Tower was one of the original fortifications built by William the Conqueror after his conquest of English in 1066. The tower, commenced in 1068 formed the central keep of the Castle at York and saw a violent and bloody history. Primarily used as an administrative centre and later a prison, the castle saw use as a defensive fortification in the years immediately following William's conquest of England and then again during the English Civil's wars of the 1600's.

After the explosion of 1684, the castle remained little more than a shell and today is one of the more prominent tourist attractions in York.

Nice picture, my friend @aghunter. It is incredible how a building that has been built almost a thousand years ago, remains so intact. That was the good thing about building with stone... Lasts a lifetime :)

Greetings and a hug friend :)

Thanks for sharing this ancient history and this architecture is saying an heartbreaking story in my opinion. Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Fascinating photography your shot's are so clear and bright.
Hope you will get success in future.
Bye the way,what camera are you using bro.
And what is the tech of capturing so clear and bright.

I use a Canon 500D. Its a bit out of date, but does the job. The lighting comes down to getting your settings right (aperture and shutter speed), shooting at the right time of day and quite a bit of luck!

oh! that's the main reason of clearity and brightness.
doing a great work men.
keep it up👍
