Skeldergate Bridge
Skeldergate Bridge

The Grade II listed LinkExternal link bridge was built as a toll bridge between 1878 and 1880. It was reconstructed and strengthened in 1938. A small arch by the former toll house at the east end of the bridge was originally designed to open so that tall ships could sail up to the quays on either side of the river between Skeldergate and Ouse Bridges. Skeldergate Bridge which carries the inner ring road, the A1036 over the River Ouse was formally declared free of tolls on April 1, 1914.
River Ouse (Yorkshire)

The River Ouse is formed by the junction of the River Ure and River Swale. The river flows south through York to its junction with the River Trent, where it becomes the Humber. Total length of the river is 52 miles (100 miles for the combined Ouse/Ure). The Ouse's tributaries (which includes the Derwent, Aire, Don, Wharfe, Rother, Nidd, Swale, Ure, and Foss) drains a large upland area of Northern England, including much of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
