[Music]
0:11
hey up welcome to the channel today
0:15
we're in sunny York and we're just going
0:18
to go for a walk
0:20
around Castle Street I think it
0:24
is i will double check now for you
0:31
york Castle and we've got Clifford's
0:35
Tower let me just get the camera out bit
0:39
unprepared started that without having
0:41
everything ready
0:45
so we have
0:47
got Clifford's
0:52
Tower Castle
0:56
Museum
1:00
and York Crown
1:02
Cot can't really see the front of the
1:04
Crown Cot there so we're going to go
1:06
have a wander around
1:08
have a look at all the buildings and
1:10
then if the airspace is clear I'll put
1:12
the drone up and fly about there's no
1:14
crowds so we're going to be all good
1:20
so this big slab here on the night of
1:24
Friday the 16th of March 1190 some 150
1:27
Jews and Jews of York having sought the
1:30
protection of the royal castle on the
1:32
site from a mob incited by Richard May
1:37
probably butchered that name and others
1:40
chose to die at each other's hands
1:41
rather than renounce their
1:43
faith that's interesting bit of history
1:47
i do remember the kids coming here and
1:49
they're having a firework display out
1:51
the top of it so have a look at the sign
1:54
maybe speak to the tour guide as well
2:10
there's the signage if you want to read
2:11
it
2:15
at the moment and play this morning all
2:18
right eden has to preschool as of
2:23
Hello you're not a bit warm in the big
2:24
jacket i keep taking it on and off it's
2:27
a bit breezy and catches me out fair
2:29
enough um I am recording for like a
2:31
little vlog that I'm doing around the
2:32
area okay so I hope you don't mind no
2:34
it's fine is there anything you can tell
2:35
me about the castle which really
2:38
interesting yeah so the this castle
2:40
isn't actually the original one that
2:41
would have been here so it was first
2:42
built in 1068 by William the Conqueror
2:45
so it originally would have been wooden
2:46
and it was a square tower um but the one
2:48
that is here today was built in about
2:50
1250s and it's the same time same stone
2:53
as the York City walls um so it's had a
2:56
very long and tumultuous history it's
2:58
been blown up quite a lot of times it's
3:00
gone on fire um so the one that is left
3:02
today is quite a ruin of like a lot of
3:04
um D's history um so yeah it um inside
3:07
there's lots of information and stuff
3:08
that takes you all through all of that
3:10
oh brilliant how many steps is it going
3:13
up it's 55 here and then there's four
3:15
staircases inside so it's about the same
3:17
again but it's all they're all slightly
3:19
different yeah it's like the famous
3:20
one's Whippy Abby it with 199 yeah whip
3:23
Whippby is quite a lot higher from from
3:25
the Abby all the way down to the town
3:26
but yeah it's still um still a really
3:28
nice view out from the top on a nice day
3:30
like this yeah so I remember coming here
3:32
as a a kid okay on Bonfire Night the
3:34
usual firework displays out the top of
3:35
it yeah yeah um Yeah unfortunately we
3:38
don't do that anymore no no but it's
3:40
nice that it's um quite like a cool part
3:42
of the city so yeah it is
3:45
do anything else about the rest of them
3:46
or it's just your main area of expertise
3:49
well so originally this whole area would
3:50
have been uh castle grounds so this was
3:53
the keep and this would have been um the
3:55
interior of the castle used to be a
3:56
prison as well didn't it yeah so this is
3:58
now still the crown court um there's the
4:00
dattor's prison there and the female
4:01
prison um and then the male prison would
4:03
have been where the car park is um but
4:05
these buildings are now both part of the
4:07
castle museum
4:09
so I did my jewelry service in there
4:11
about Did you oh yeah about 15 years ago
4:13
yeah yeah well it's still very active
4:15
there's people in out every day so Yeah
4:17
no worries um last question yeah sure is
4:20
this like a just public footpath and
4:23
everything or or is it like this private
4:24
and then a public area somewhere we
4:27
don't know specifically about this area
4:29
um I believe that this is public but
4:31
it's just kind of part of the site so we
4:34
look after it um but it's very much open
4:36
to the public so yeah so I want to um
4:39
later on walk around and film all the
4:41
buildings i want to just like fly a
4:42
drone up and take some aerial shots of
4:44
everywhere in the area yeah um I think
4:46
you can do that here yeah um it's just
4:48
if you go inside now I won't be going
4:50
inside it's just going to be up in the
4:51
air just going around just taking some
4:53
pictures and videos so yeah I think that
4:55
should be fine brilliant right brilliant
4:56
thank you very much see you later
4:58
somebody's left the glasses off oh thank
4:59
you so much that was Hermione from
5:02
English Heritage absolutely fine with me
5:05
flying the drone no issue whatsoever
5:08
we'll have a quick walk up to the castle
5:11
museum so we got the female prison which
5:14
would have been this building as she
5:16
said and that one would have been the
5:18
data's prison and the male prison would
5:21
have been in the car park so we will
5:25
take some videos on the handheld now
5:36
so this one would have been the female
5:39
prison i'm not going to speak of the
5:42
drone footage so I'm just going to put
5:44
some nice music on it so that one is the
5:47
female
5:49
prison i might get an ice cream later as
5:54
well and you've got your entrance to
5:57
York Castle
6:00

6:05
more close-up stuff of that the data's
6:08
