"Clifford’s Tower, a semi-ruined 13th-century remnant of York Castle, is also one of the few Norman relics in a city dominated by Viking influence. Nowadays, Clifford’s Tower is one of the most popular and emblematic sights in York, and the panoramic views from the tower’s ramparts make it an excellent starting point for first-time visitors to historic York."

"To see a fantastic panorama of York and take some great photos, head to the Clifford’s Tower. The entry price is a bit high for what the place has to order. However, it’s excellent for photos that you’re going to take there."

"Completed in 1840, the Grade I-listed building was designed by Joseph Bonomi the Younger and takes its architectural inspiration from Ancient Egypt. The smaller building, with its imposing facade, was based on the Temple of Horus at Edfu, and the larger factory, once the biggest single room in the world, was inspired by the Typhonium at Dendera. It played a major role in the industrial revolution in Leeds, and now it’s set to be given a new lease of life as the home of British Library North."

"A ‘one-of-a-kind’ indeed, Temple Works was completed way back in 1840 after designer Joseph Bonomi relied a lot on Ancient Egyptian for the architecture. The smaller building was based on Temple of Horus at Edfu, while Typhonium inspired the larger factory at Dendera. The industrial revolution saw a prominent role that the building played since then and is currently, vacant."

"Temple Works is a former flax mill in Holbeck built in the Egyptian Revival style by industrialist, John Marshall, between 1836 and 1840. It is the only Grade I listed building in Holbeck. View this post on Instagram"

"Formerly Oceana, Pryzm is situated at the top end of the city next to the Merrion Centre and just over the road from the Leeds Beckett campus. Like Control, Pryzm is one of the bigger clubs in the city and terms of its interior can sometimes seem more like an IMAX than a night club. For the majority of you moving to Leeds the chances are there will be somewhere like Pryzm where you’ve come from – it’s that place that isn’t afraid to give S Club 7 a spin and is a favourite for socials on a Wednesday night."

"A longtime mainstay of Leeds’ nightlife, Pryzm is the perfect culmination of a night on the town. It’s fair to say there’s something for everyone, with five different rooms, each boasting a different style of music. From house and r&b to disco and even acoustic, it’s all covered."

"The club will be throwing their first proper party in 16 months. They said doors will be opening to the venue at midnight."
