Rebuilt in stone in 13th century, Clifford's Tower is the most prominent of York's ancient fortifications. Follow the link for a potted history. The Castle Museum, just to the right, is wonderful and features, among many reconstructions, a complete Victorian Street, shops and all.

Thank you Gunn. I know what you mean - I wondered about posting it, but liked the simplicity so much that I went ahead. "Clean" is fine for this kind of thing.
