Ouse Bridge - Saints, shops and staithes.

Discover the history and vibrant life that once marked Ouse Bridge as the centre of the City. The only way of crossing the River Ouse between Boroughbridge and the Sea for centuries the bridge played a role as the site of miracles, martyrdom, York's first public clock, courts, council chambers and prisons as well as providing everythin a gentleman needed. Today the bridge is a place people seek to cross quickly - except for those who look to capture the flooding of the staithes. York Civic Trust are interested in how to reinvigorate the bridge and bring some of its previous glory back to life.
