This bridge is normally considered to be over the Oxford Canal. Strictly it is over a Thames backwater which connects with the Oxford Canal, Isis lock branch, which latter consists only of the lock. Now still in situ but derelict, in 1977 it was still in use, but evidently only for one of its two tracks. Although a Wednesday mid-morning, it has been left open for navigation, which was not the case in earlier times.
