From the Wikipedia article
Roman column, York, is a surviving element of the Roman presence in York, England, located just south of York Minster. Dating to the early 2nd century AD, it originally formed part of the headquarters building (principia) of Eboracum, the Roman name for York. It is one of the few visible examples of Roman architecture in the north of England.

Background
Description
The column is approximately 9.5 metres (31 feet) in height. It is made up of eight cylindrical drums of Magnesian Limestone, a common building material in the region during the Roman period. Its design is functional and consistent with Roman military architecture. The visible shaft is composed mostly of original Roman stonework, although the base is modern. Faint tool marks and ancient repairs are visible upon inspection, offering evidence of Roman construction methods.
Visiting
Although the column has not appeared prominently in popular media, it is featured in local publications and visual art as a representation of York's Roman heritage. It is frequently photographed in conjunction with the Minster, and is sometimes used as a backdrop during historical-themed events held in Minster Yard.
