Appleford Railway Bridge

From Graces Guide
Appleford Railway Bridge

Appleford Railway Bridge carries the Cherwell Valley Line from Didcot to Oxford across the River Thames near the village of Appleford-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. It crosses the Thames on the reach between Clifton Lock and Culham Lock.

Brunel's original bridge (1843) was a timber construction, replaced in the 1850s by an iron girder bridge.

The present bridge was probably built in the late 1920s, when a number of railway bridges in the area were replaced with bowatring steel structures.
