The current bridge opened on 1 August 1911, and is the third bridge built at that location.

St Paul's Church is the parish church of Holgate, a suburb of York in England. The area fell within the parish of St Mary Bishophill Junior. Much housing was constructed in the district in the 1840s, and it was decided to build a new church. A site was found on the north side of Holgate Road. A building was designed by J. B. and W. Atkinson, in the Gothic Revival style. It was constructed from 1850 to 1851, designed to seat 700 worshippers. It was consecrated on 3 January 1856, and was given its own parish later in the month. Part of the nave was given to extend the chancel in 1890, and a new east window was added in 1906, to a design by George Fowler Jones. The church was Grade II listed in 1997. The church is built of brick faced with sandstone, and it has a slate roof. The piers are made of cast iron. It consists of a continuous nave and chancel, with north and south aisles, the nave extending one bay further west than the aisles.

Bishopsbarns is a historic house in south-west York, in England. The house lies on St George's Place, near the Knavesmire. It was designed by the architect Walter Brierley as his own house, and was completed in 1905. Brierley commissioned George Percy Bankart to design the house's plasterwork, and Gertrude Jekyll to design the garden. Clive Aslet described the building as showing Brierley "at his best", with "great care... taken over the craftmanship". Brierley took the house's name from the fact that the site had previously been occupied by barns belonging to the See of York. The house is in the Tudor revival style, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. It is of two storeys, and is built of handmade bricks, which are only two inches thick. The roofs are covered in handmade tile, and incorporate dormer windows, bringing light into the attics. The woodwork is all of oak. There are wings at the left and right sides of the building, each in a similar style. The majority of the windows have mullions and transoms, and some have small panes in a diamond lattice. The back of the house has a single storey, with a loggia.Inside, the house retains its original decoration. The entrance hall is covered in Delft tiles, collected by Brierley, while the other halls are panelled. The dining room has its original wallpaper, and both dining and drawing rooms have decorative plastered ceilings, and stone fireplaces. The ceiling in the drawing room is barrel vaulted, and is modelled on one in Pinkie House in Musselburgh. The original light fittings also survive, on the ground floor.The garden is enclosed by a brick wall. Lawrence Weaver stated that "there can be nothing but praise, for though it is small the best use has been made of the available space", and praised Jekyll's planting, providing interest throughout the year, and use of yew hedging. There is a forecourt, which is cobbled with stones taken from the beach at Flamborough. The garden was restored in the early 2010s.The house was Grade II* listed in 1983. In 2015, the house was placed on the market for £2.4 million. The Press later reported that it was the first house in the city to sell for more than £2 million.

The Bay Horse is a pub on Blossom Street, immediately west of the city centre of York, in England. The core of the building was constructed in the late-17th century, after the Siege of York, as a small farmhouse. It was first recorded as an inn in 1748, around which time it was raised to three storeys, and extended from an L-plan to a square plan. It is now a three bay building, built of brick, with a rendered front which has a parapet disguising the tiled roof. The staircase dates from the mid-18th century, and there are some fittings from the Regency period.By 1798, the inn was named the "Bay Horse". This name is believed to refer to the horse Bay Malton, who won a major race nearby, at York Racecourse. Some of the windows were altered in the 19th-century. From 1862 until 1874, the pub and its brewhouse were owned by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. By 1969, the pub was owned by John Smith's Brewery, which restored the ground floor, reusing some of the Victorian fittings.

The Odeon Cinema is a Grade II listed building immediately west of the city centre of York, in England. The Odeon Cinemas chain was keen to build a cinema in York, but it could not gain permission to construct a large building within the York city walls. Initial plans were toned down, and the resulting building is almost entirely of brown brick, with none of the tiles which often feature in Harry Weedon's work. Following these changes, permission was granted to build on Blossom Street, just outside the walls.The building opened as an Odeon Cinema on 1 February 1937. It was designed by Harry Weedon, with the assistance of Robert Bullivant, and with interiors attributed to Lily Deutsch. The construction cost £40,500. On opening, it had 1,484 seats: 934 in the stalls and 550 on the balcony. In 1972, it was converted to have three screens, with the balcony extended forward to form one 800-seat space and the rear of the former stalls split into two smaller screens, each with 111 seats. It was listed in 1981. The building is in the Art Deco style, and has a low front range, with a three-storey range behind, a tower to the left, and two-storey wings on either side. Part of the front range is occupied by shops. The tower retains an illuminated "Odeon" sign, rendered in Roman capital letters, not the chain's usual style.Odeon planned to close the cinema in 2003, with a 13,000-name petition leading to a short reprieve. It closed in 2006, but reopened in 2009 as part of the Reel Cinemas chain. In 2017, it was purchased by Everyman Cinemas and renovated to accommodate four screens, each with sofa seating.The official listing notes that "the architecture ... is well designed and executed, and is a good example of Odeon cinema design" and that original windows survive, along with some original design elements and ancillary rooms. John Brooke Fieldhouse describes it as having "... the overall texture of a building belonging to an ancient civilisation".
