Selby Toll Bridge is one of three swing bridges in the town of Selby, North Yorkshire, England. A timber bridge over the River Ouse in the town was opened in c. 1793 to replace a ferry crossing that had existed since Medieval times. The bridge provided a connection between the West and East Ridings of Yorkshire across the River Ouse, and became the furthest downstream public bridge crossing over the river until 1929, when the Boothferry Bridge was built. The moving section of the original bridge used ball-bearings and cog wheels; the bridge is believed to be the first in the world to use ball-bearings. The replacement 1970s bridge, now only carries the A19 road as the A63 bypass was opened in 2004.

Corunna House is a historic building in Selby, in North Yorkshire, England. The house lies on Water Lane, facing the River Ouse. It was built in the early 18th century, before 1724, for Richard Pearson. It had a variety of owners until the 1850s, when it was converted into the Ousegate School, which closed in 1926. It was then named "Corunna House", due to a purported connection with John Moore of La Coruna. Nikolaus Pevsner described the building as "the handsomest house in Selby". It was Grade II* listed in 1952.The house is built of brown brick, with a pantile roof. It has brick quoins and a wooden cornice. It is eight bays wide, with the third bay coming slightly further forward, and incorporating the main entrance. This has a rectangular fanlight and large hood above. In the middle, there is a carriage entrance, which may be a later creation. The windows are sashes. The right-hand side had a 19th-century shop front, which has since been replaced with brick and two further sash windows.

Abbot's Staith is a historic building in Selby, a town in North Yorkshire in England. The building was constructed in about 1500, probably as a warehouse. It is generally thought to have been constructed on behalf of the monks of Selby Abbey. The Oxford Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology in Britain describes it as "Selby Abbey's quay and timber yard". Writing in the 1750s, Richard Pocock stated that "near the river is a large store house of hewn stone, which served for their cloth before the Aire was made navigable". In 1911, the building was purchased by the Woodhead family, which used it for their seed business. However, it was disused from about 1990, and fell into poor repair. In 2015, the Save the Abbot's Staith group began fundraising to restore the building, for community use. In 2019, Historic England supported the cost of roof repairs.The building is two storeys high, H-shaped in plan, and is largely built of limestone. The north side of the upper storey of the central section was rebuilt in brick in about 1700, possibly replacing timber-framing. The southern side of the upper storey of the east wing was rebuilt in brick in the 19th century. Five first floor windows on the south side are original, as are two doors on the north side, with their original ironwork. Inside, the building is divided by thick stone walls.The building is grade II* listed and is also a scheduled monument.
