Clifford's Tower-the Eye of York, the eye of history

Advantages: Convenient location, informative historical site with magnificent views.
Disadvantages: No audio guide available. No disability and toilet facilities.

. The stone floor is uneven and the chapel size is less than 10 square meters. It has two windows on the left side and right side. The stone wall-cupboard on the left wall, as I mentioned above, is under one of the windows. The right side wall has a long, but narrow window, from which you can look directly at the main gate into the tower. Historically the chapel was built for the king to take Mass, when he might be staying in York. However the king rarely visited it and the chapel was used for other functions. In 1362 it was used as a store room and was called 'The Treasury'. 3. Views from the top One of the best things about Clifford's Tower is to climb the spiral steps to the top.

This site at ground level is now occupied by three different large buildings, two of which form the York Castle Museum and the other is now used as the town's court building. It is obvious at first sight why such a defence would originally been built in this location. As one of the highest points above sea level in York this position would have afforded views for many miles. It also lies very close to the River Ouse, which would have been the most likely way of approach by any unwelcome visitors. York has a rich and vibrant history. In Roman times there was ...

Review of Clifford's Tower, York

Hays Montrose - Best of the British

Advantages: Service, Pay and Dirverse range of work
Disadvantages: They are still an agency which can sometimes make errors

Hays known more widely as Hays Montrose are another recruiting agency of the many available although Hays are possibly the biggest as they are working internationally and are currently extremely diverse. Hays Montrose ? Background : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Formed in the 60?s and then expanding to a more diverse workforce in the 80?s, Hays have been round for such a long time which goes to show they are successful. In the mid 90?s, I was out bopping away to my old skool love while Hays were expanding across the country and the world. Hays are now recognized as a global working company recruiting thousands across the UK as well as the many others working throughout countries such as France, Germany, Sweden, Portugal and South Africa included. But more importantly the UK coverage is outstanding, with 220 offices ...
