Lendal Bridge provided a vital path to the Minster area from York’s first railway station in 1863🚂 The structure stretches 53 meters across the Ouse & was designed by Thomas Page🌉 Made from cast iron, the bridge replaced a ferry service, used by Florence Nightingale in 1852🩺

Walmgate Bar is York's most complete medieval gateway, retaining its outer defence or Barbican🤯 The fortified passageway still has a portcullis and wooden doors, perhaps installed in the 14c📜 Most of the structure's stonework is 14c but the original arch dates from the 1100's⛏️
