BBC Radio York bus doing an outside broadcast from the base of Cliffords Tower. The motte was built in 1066 shortly after the Norman invasion to try and control the troublesome North. It was unsuccessful as the wooden tower on the top was twice burned down by the locals until the "Harrying of the North" by William's army in 1069. It was burnt down a third time in 1190 by a mob of townsfolk when the Jewish population were beseiged inside. The stone "castle" that we see today was built after 1244.

The tower was constructed between approximately 1245 and 1272 and became the core of York Castle.
