Bob Marley awarded English Heritage blue plaque
Jamaican singer-songwriter Bob Marley has been honoured with an English Heritage blue today (Tuesday 1 October), joining the likes of Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, George Frideric Handel and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The plaque marks number 42 Oakley Street, the Chelsea house where Marley lived in 1977. It was while living here that he and the Wailers finished recording their album Exodus, which featured some of his biggest hits, including 'Jamming', 'Waiting in Vain', 'Three Little Birds' and 'One Love'. With this address as his Chelsea home, Marley said he regarded London "as a second base," often playing football with his bandmates at the pitches in nearby Battersea Park.

Clifford’s Tower Revealed: York Landmark Re-roofed and Interior Transformed
This Saturday, 2 April 2022, English Heritage reopens Clifford’s Tower in York to the public, following a major £5 million project to conserve and radically transform the interior of the 800-year-old landmark. Where previously the tower was an empty shell, the charity has now installed a free-standing timber structure within it, protecting the ruin and creating a new roof deck to provide magnificent views over York. On the tower’s lost first floor, dramatic aerial walkways will open up hidden rooms for the first time since Clifford’s Tower was gutted by fire in 1684.
