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...

decent and smooth bridge

The bridge over the River Ouse features a single leaning arch with cables fanned out like bicycle spokes, symbolizing its purpose as a key link for walkers and cyclists.

York Railway Station boasts a rich history intertwined with the evolution of British rail travel. Initially, a humble wooden structure emerged in 1839, followed in 1841 by a more substantial station within the city walls. This early station even had a dedicated hotel, The Royal Station Hotel (now The Principal York). The grand structure we see today opened in 1877, replacing the previous station entirely. Designed as the largest railway station in the world at the time, it solidified York's position as a major railway hub. Though its role has lessened somewhat in the modern era, York station remains a significant interchange for the North of England, a testament to its lasting impact.

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.
