The Millenium was a year of pedestrian bridge building; one of the most startling crosses the Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle. York's version is modest by comparison, but provides a very useful, attractive crossing at this end of town connecting Rowntree Park and Bishopsthorpe Road to Fulford Road and the University.

The King's Manor, York
Part of the King's Manor complex, Exhibition Square, which houses York University's Department of Archeology and the Centres for Medieval and 18th Century Studies. At various times it has been an abbots' house, the seat of the Council of the North (from Henry VIII), rented property and The Yorkshire School for the Blind. It is now owned by the City of York Council and leased to the university. The link takes you to a 360ยบ view which shows off the unusual architecture.
