York After Dark
Friday, 11 September 2026 - 10 minutes
Beyond the 1190 massacre, Clifford’s Tower holds a bloody history of civil war, public executions, and a catastrophic gunpowder explosion. In Part 2 of our deep dive on York After Dark, we uncover the gruesome story behind how the tower got its name, the blast that gutted its interior, and the phantom figures still seen walking the stone ramparts late at night.
