Left out: New Foss bridge 4

Left out.

New Foss bridge 3

Looking to the new development on the Hungate side of the Foss. 

New kid on the Foss

This detail of the bridge shown yesterday contrasts nicely with slightly older York Minster.

Foss Footbridge

A long shot of the new footbridge over the Foss, the smaller ofYork's two rivers. The building on the right, now offices and flats, was formerly a Rowntree warehouse. The Quaker family chocolate company was taken over by Nestlé in 1987.

No cycling

this day on the Sustrans cycle path which runs parallel to our street. This picture was taken over a year ago and shows the road bridge taking Tang Hall Lane over the former Derwent Valley Light Railway line, now the Sustrans cycle path. The remaining half mile of the railway to the east of York has been preserved; go here for pictures from 2004 onwards.   

Bridge over untroubled water 3

Fowl on the frozen Foss with this blue bridge in the distance. Season's greetings to all!

Bridge over untroubled water 2

The River Foss flows gently by a few pretty tame geese on Huntington Road, just before Monk Bar roundabout. The bridge carries the A1036 to Heworth Green, then on to the A64 to Malton, Whitby and Scarborough.

The old ones are the best …

The old ice-cream joke on the banks of the Ouse, just outside of the Museum Gardens. For the benefit of non-native speakers, licked is a slang synonym for beaten. The almost invisible railway bridge in the background carries the east-coast traffic from London to Edinburgh.  

Bridge over untroubled water

Being right on the inner ring road (Foss Islands Road)  this spot is not quite as tranquil as it looks. The pretty  iron bridge over the River Foss is permanently closed to pedestrians but its graceful arch and colour make it a treat to the eyes. Let's hope no-one decides to sell it for scrap.
