Medley Footbridge, Iron footbridge in Oxfordshire, England.
Description
Medley Footbridge is an iron structure that crosses the River Thames with a single arch. It allows pedestrians to move between the riverbanks without getting wet.
History
The structure was built in 1865 through public donations during the time of sheriff Henry Grant. A commemorative plaque marks its creation on the bridge itself.
Culture
The bridge forms part of the Thames Path network, connecting communities and providing access to traditional riverside activities such as punting and canoeing.
Practical
You can reach this bridge from the Thames towpath that runs alongside the river. Nearby are Godstow Bridge upstream and Osney Bridge downstream.
Did you know?
The bridge displays an engraved inscription that contains a spelling mistake, which led locals to give it the nickname Subscription Bridge. This error has given the structure its own character over the years.
