EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1926, offering a unique aerial perspective of Clifford's Tower in York, North Yorkshire. The majestic medieval structure stands proudly amidst an urban landscape, its imposing presence hinting at centuries of history and tales untold. From this vantage point, we can appreciate the intricate design of the motte upon which Clifford's Tower is perched. Its circular shape dominates the frame, evoking a sense of strength and resilience that has withstood the test of time. Surrounding it are remnants of buildings that once housed a nineteenth-century prison within the castle area. The image exudes an air of mystery as shadows cast by unseen clouds dance across rooftops and cobblestone streets below. It transports us to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these very roads while locals went about their daily lives. Aerofilms' expertly captured photograph allows us to marvel at both the architectural grandeur and historical significance encapsulated within Clifford's Tower. It serves as a poignant reminder that our present is built upon layers upon layers of past narratives waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on how far we have come while cherishing our heritage - for it is through understanding our roots that we can truly appreciate where we stand today.
