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.

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.

Selby railway station is a Grade II listed station which serves the market town of Selby in North Yorkshire, England. The original terminus station was opened in 1834 for the Leeds and Selby Railway. The Hull and Selby Railway extended the line in 1840 and a new station was built, with the old station becoming a goods shed. The station was rebuilt in 1873 and 1891; the 1891 rebuilding was required due to the replacement of the swing bridge over the River Ouse at the same time. The area around the station is a junction for a number of lines, including the former East Coast Main Line route between Doncaster and York, the Selby to Driffield Line (1848) and the Selby to Goole Line (1910). After 1983, with the opening of the Selby Diversion, Selby is no longer on the East Coast Main Line. As of 2014, lines lead from Selby to Leeds, Hull and Doncaster. The station is managed by TransPennine Express and receives regional trains operated by Northern and TransPennine Express, as well as Hull-London services operated by Hull Trains and London North Eastern Railway.

King's Church Selby is a historic church in Selby, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. Andrew Reed was sent by the Hackney Academy to preach in Selby in July 1808. His sermons proved immediately popular, and although he left in August, a Mr Seaton came to replace him in October, and began construction of a rectangular chapel, which opened in March 1809. The congregation continued to grow, and in 1812, galleries were added. In 1842, a vestry and schoolroom were added to the south of the chapel. The capacity of the chapel eventually grew to 500.
