Shillingford Bridge, Road bridge in Warborough, England
Shillingford Bridge spans across the River Thames with three semi-circular stone arches, connecting Shillingford to Wallingford through a single-track passage regulated by traffic lights.
The bridge replaced a wooden structure in 1827, following an Act of Parliament that addressed the need for safer river crossing during flood conditions.
The Grade II* listed structure represents early 19th-century engineering methods and maintains its original external appearance, except for the removal of its toll-keeper's cottage in 1937.
The bridge provides access to multiple hiking trails, including the Thames Path loop and routes leading to the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Vehicle passage on this stone bridge occurred through a toll system until 1874, when the introduction of railways led to reduced traffic and transfer of ownership to local authorities.
