🏙️ Clementhorpe

Clementhorpe is a suburb, that was formerly a hamlet, parish and village in the city of York, in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. Initially occupied by the Romans, at around 1130 St. Clements Nunnery, a Benedictine priory was founded, but was later dissolved by Henry VIII in 1536. At the start of the 19th century, very little of the village remained, however the area became part of the ever growing residential areas of the city, with industry moving in along the River Ouse. Clementhorpe's most famous business was the confectioner Terry's. In 2013 it was voted 9th in The Times most coolest places to live in the United Kingdom.
