The Blue Bridge in York is a historic landmark located where the River Foss meets the River Ouse. It's known for its distinctive blue colour, which has been maintained through several reconstructions. The current bridge was built in 1929-30, replacing earlier versions, including a stone arch bridge and various wooden and iron opening bridges. The bridge is a popular spot for locals and tourists, offering views of the river and linking St. George's Field with New Walk.
