Lendal Bridge A Victorian construction across the River Ouse, the Lendal Bridge is part of Station Road, the A1036. The bridge was built in 1863 to improve access between the Minster area of the city and the Station (which, at that time was within the City Walls, to the east of the present York Railway Station).

Duncombe Place From the left to the right - the Red House, St Wilfrid's Church and York Minster. The Red House dates from 1702 and was built for Sir William Robinson, MP for York. The architect was William Etty, who was also responsible for Baldersby Park, which was also owned by Robinson. The house incorporates medieval limestone on the south side, and may be it was 'borrowed' from the City Walls. This picture appears in the following picture tour: Camera Make: SONY Model: DSC-W200 |

York Minster from the City Wall York Minster is the second largest Gothic cathedral of Northern Europe and clearly charts the development of English Gothic architecture from Early English through to the Perpendicular Period. The present building was begun in about 1230 and completed in 1472. It has a cruciform plan with an octagonal chapter house attached to the north transept, a central tower and two towers at the west front. The stone used for the building is magnesian limestone, a creamy-white coloured rock that was quarried in nearby Tadcaster. The Minster is 148 metres long and each of its three towers are 60 metres high. The choir, which has an interior height of 31 metres, is only surpassed in height in England by the choir of Westminster Abbey.
