Viewed from St Thomas Street looking towards Tidmarsh Lane. The bridge spans Castle Mill Stream. In the background are the castle mound and the top of the spire of Nuffield College. There is a 7.5 tonne limit across Quaking Bridge. There has been a bridge of some sort here since at least the late 13th century, so the name presumably refers to an unstable wooden predecessor.
