List of tallest buildings in Yorkshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yorkshire has a range of tall buildings primarily located in its largest city, Leeds, which hosts the current tallest building, Altus House. Two further buildings over 100m are current under construction in Leeds. A smaller number of tall buildings are located in Sheffield, while Yorkshire's other main settlements are largely characterised by low-rise skylines such as York, which is dominated by one tall building, the Minster.
High-rise residential blocks are common in many towns and cities in Yorkshire, with many councils, particularly Leeds, Middlesbrough, Bradford and 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, though some newer high rise buildings are under construction.
