Springtime in York

            Daffodils around Cliffords Tower

At this time of year daffodils abound the city walls and other historic sites in York

Unfortunately due to lock down we are not able to enjoy them this year. This is a photo from 2012

Clifford's Tower is the largest remaining part of York Castle, once the centre of government for the north of England. The 11th-century timber tower on top of the earth mound was burned down in 1190, after York's Jewish community, some 150 strong, was besieged here by a mob and committed mass suicide. The present 13th-century stone tower was probably used as a treasury and later as a prison.
In 1322 the tower gained its present name when Roger de Clifford was executed by Edward II for treason. Clifford was hanged in chains from the walls of the tower, and ever after the building has been "Clifford's Tower".
