Built in 2001 for over £4m, the York Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Ouse in York, England. It connects New Walk to Terry Avenue, south of the city centre, and is part of a popular circular walking route. The bridge was designed to shorten the walking and cycling routes for people in the South Bank area of the city to the University of York and the city centre. If you are a pedestrian, then keep your wits about you. Cyclists will not give you any room and will not slow down either.

Old Norse "mykill" (great) and "gata" (street), the "gate" suffix being very common among York street names. You can also add the heads of Edmund, Earl of Rutland and Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury to the Bar, and some say that the Duke of York's participation in the Battle of Wakefield is the source of the phrase for remembering the traditional colours of the rainbow, Richard Of York Gave Battle in Vain...

Micklegate Bar was the most important of York’s four main medieval gateways and the focus for grand events. The name comes from 'Micklelith', meaning great street. It was the main entrance to the city for anyone arriving from the South. At least half a dozen reigning monarchs have passed through this gate and by tradition they stop here to ask the Lord Mayor's permission to enter the city. The lower section of the bar dates from the 12th century, the top two storeys from the 14th. The building was inhabited from 1196. Like the other main gates, Micklegate Bar originally had a barbican built on the front, in this case demolished in 1826. For centuries the severed heads of rebels and traitors were displayed above the gate, the many victims include Sir Henry Purcey (Hotspur) in 1403 and Richard, Duke of York in 1460. The last of the severed heads was removed in 1754.

Micklegate Bar, the most significant among York's four primary medieval gateways, held a prominent role as the focal point for grand events. Its name, derived from 'Micklelith' meaning 'great street,' aptly reflects its significance. Serving as the primary entrance to the city for those arriving from the South, this historic gate witnessed the passage of numerous reigning monarchs, who adhered to the tradition of seeking the Lord Mayor's permission before entering the city.

In 1890, the prison commissioners agreed to declare Clifford's Tower a national monument and preserve it as a historic site. [112] In 1902, Clifford's Tower was given to York Corporation, along with a grant of £3,000 (equivalent to £320,000 in 2019) for conservation and repairs arranged by Lord Wenlock. The removal of rubble and damage to the castle's masonry in the 16th century placed excessive pressure on the retaining wall, leading to renewed subsidence in the 14th century. [117] Sir Basil Mott, a leading Victorian engineer, installed concrete underpinnings to stabilize the structure beneath the gatehouse. [117]In the early 20th century, Clifford's Tower was regularly open to visitors and in 1915 it was handed over to the Office of Works as a national monument (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Castle).
