The earliest bridge, built by the Romans, linked Stonegate (the via praetoria of the Roman fortress) with Micklegate, crossing the river approximately where the Guildhall now is. Its replacement, Ouse Bridge, was a wooden bridge built about 380 yards (350 m) downstream by the Vikings. It collapsed in 1154 under the weight of a crowd which had gathered to greet St William of York on his return from exile.
