About this audio guide
This guide to York's Millennium Bridge, the leaning footbridge over the River Ouse at Fulford, treats it as a physical object: steel, cables and the engineering that put it there. It starts with a muddle over when the bridge actually opened, takes in a local film of the millennium year, and looks at the bicycle wheel that inspired Whitby Bird and Partners. Best heard standing mid-span with your arms on the deck's waist-high shelf.
