List of tallest buildings in Yorkshire
This article does not cite any sources. (July 2010) |
Yorkshire has many tall buildings, the current tallest building is in Leeds. Sheffield also has tall buildings and there are many planned to be built elsewhere. York has a low-rise skyline like other Yorkshire cities, York's tallest building being the Minster.
High-rise residential blocks are common in many towns and cities in Yorkshire, with many councils, particularly Leeds, Halifax and Kingston upon Hull enthusiastically embracing high-rise living in the 1960s and '70s. Sheffield has fewer high-rise residential blocks, with the council there looking more towards the more modern 'wall like' developments.
