Elmbank Hotel
The Elmbank Hotel is a historic building southwest of the city centre of York, in England.
The building lies on the north-west side of The Mount. It was built in about 1870, perhaps to a design by J. B. and W. Atkinson, who extended it in 1874. It was remodelled in 1898 for Sidney Leetham, by Walter and Arthur Penty, with the interiors redesigned by George Henry Walton. Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as having an "unexceptional exterior but memorable interiors", and Historic England states that it has "one of the finest and most complete surviving [ Art Nouveau interiors] in England". The building was Grade II* listed in 1968, by which time it had been converted into a hotel. It was purchased by Hilton and refurbished in 2024.
The hotel is built of white brick with stone dressings, slate roofs and a lead roof to the tower. Its main entrance is through a Doric order porch facing Love Lane, and both it and the front to The Mount are five bays wide; that to the Mount has a central bow window with a balcony above. It is two storeys tall, with a four-storey tower at the rear. Inside, the hall with the main staircase and major ground floor rooms are all panelled, with the walls and ceilings painted and stencilled in a broadly Pre-Raphaelite style. The hall is two storeys tall and has a barrel-vaulted ceiling, with the original light fitting. One room has a marble overmantel with glass and ceramic inlaid, and many windows retain original stained glass.

Holgate Bridge
Holgate Bridge is an iron girder bridge in Holgate, York, England, which straddles the railway lines heading south out of the station. The bridge is set at a skew in comparison to the railway lines underneath, and carries the A59 road into, and out of, York city centre. The current bridge opened on 1 August 1911, and is the third bridge built at that location. During works carried out in the late 1980s when the East Coast Main Line was electrified, the bridge was raised by 12 inches (300 mm) to enable overhead line equipment to be installed underneath.
