Founded by the ancient Romans, York is a city with a lot of character. Medieval walls encircle the city and there is plenty of history and culture to explore. Something that may surprise many people, is the use of shipping containers for creative purposes in a city with so much traditional charm.
From stylish cabins overlooking the North York Moors to community hubs housing independent businesses, restaurants, and creatives in the heart of the city, York has really embraced shipping container conversions to add some modern charm to the city.
