Quaking Bridge, Pedestrian bridge near Oxford Castle, England
The iron bridge spans across the Castle Mill Stream, connecting St Thomas Street, Paradise Street, and Tidmarsh Lane in central Oxford.
The first recorded mention of Quaking Bridge dates back to 1297, when it served as a crossing point between Oxford and St Thomas's parish.
The Canons of Oseney Abbey crossed this bridge daily to conduct religious services at St George's Chapel within the castle grounds.
Recent structural assessments led to proposals reducing the bridge weight limit from 7.5 tonnes to 3 tonnes to ensure safety standards.
The bridge underwent a transformation in 1835 when its original wooden three-arch structure was replaced with an iron construction.
