North Bridge A nine arch stone bridge over the Ure at the north end of Ripon. At one time all traffic leaving the city for the north passed this way, but the by pass now takes most of the traffic. By tradition there was a Roman ford across the river some 50m downstream, probably where the stones are in the foreground of the photo.

Ure Bypass Bridge View downstream from North Bridge. Visible in the middle of the river, covered with snow, are all that remains of some of the pillars from the dismantled railway viaduct.
