The Salisbury and Cologne cathedrals were both built around the same time, and were the earliest to start construction of all four cathedrals. Both are extremely vertical and share strong Gothic characteristics. The interiors are similar as well--both share similar arches and ceilings, and the nave's are almost identical, with the main difference being the slenderness of Cologne.
They also use light in the same way. They both feature stained glass throughout, allowing natural light to come through and beautifully illuminate the interior. This element connects the two buildings and helps pull them out of the dark ages.
