As part of the millennium celebrations a series of direction signs, information plaques and benches were installed near and alongside the River Ouse.
The various objects all have a common theme in their signage. In an oval the legend York Millennium Walks runs vertically up the left hand of the oval. On the right hand side a capital M is underlined with a yellow line, and breaks 5 vertical wavy lines representing the river.
The style of the letter ‘M’ is in the style of the Millenium Commission. This commission allocated money from the National Lottery to fund many community projects to celebrate the millennium.. It carried on its work past the millennium until 2006 when it was disbanded after having spent over 2 billion pounds.
The work to install the various sign was carried out b York City Council.
This direction sign is near Clifford tower. In one direction it points to the River Ouse where the river walk can be picked up. The end of the walk to the South is the Millennium footbridge near Fulford.
The other direction points to the York Museum and Coppergate and the City centre.
