York Castle Car Park

This has to be a candidate for the world’s most inappropriate car park:

It’s in the precinct of York Castle in the U.K.  The castle was founded by William the Conquerer following the most famous event in British history, the Norman invasion of 1066.  It has had connections to the British crown ever since.

In its early years it was a base for the ‘Harrying of the North’ a cruel suppression of the region’s population.  In 1190 York Castle was the scene of another tragic event, the mass-murder of the city’s Jewish population .  It was later a prison and the site for executions of criminals.
