See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is looking for towers
and here a path through the squeeze style leads to St Margaret's Church. The tower has both clock and bell. The saint is St Margaret of Antioch of whom it is told that while in prison the devil came to her in the form of a dragon. The legend goes he swallowed her but fortuitously the cross she carried irritated his throat and he coughed her up. The church's banner shows her standing on the dragon although in life she was a shepherdess (and sometimes portrayed as such) which would be useful in the Yorkshire Dales where there are lots of sheep.
Ornate towers of the Yenidze Cigarette Factory in Dresden. Built 1907-1909 its oriental style was also used as part of the firms advertising. Remarkably it survived the carpet bombing of Dresden in WW2 and today it houses offices and a restaurant. The 600 windows must make it a lovely light building to work in.

What a beautiful building for a cigarette factory! Certainly unusual for its location. That first one just calls out to me to take a stroll. Such a pretty scene.
The cigarette factory caught my attention: very attractive. The caste towers are always fascinating to me
I appreciate how the colours in the Yorkshire view are all complementary. The cigarette factory is breathtaking.
I love the legend behind St Margaret’s Church! Growing up with tales and fairy stories, told and read by Mum, ignited my love for such narratives. The Het Steen is a breathtaking defensive tower; I can't help but imagine the stories its walls could tell. The Yenidze Cigarette Factory’s oriental style is distinctive and must have been a striking contrast against Dresden's cityscape.

You found very beautiful towers! The cigarette factory impressed me. I love they make beautiful buildings for utilitarian purposes; I am not sure it happens so often nowadays (with some notable exceptions, of course!).
We have some legends here bout St. Margaret and the dragon... gore-loving tales!
