Tenfoot Bridge, Wooden footbridge in Chimney, United Kingdom
The wooden structure spans across the River Thames, connecting Buckland on the south bank to Chimney on the north bank in Oxfordshire.
The Thames Conservancy constructed Tenfoot Bridge in 1869 to replace an aging weir bridge that had received numerous complaints about its deteriorating condition.
The bridge forms an integral part of the Thames Path network, reflecting the long tradition of riverside walking paths in the English countryside.
Located on the reach above Shifford Lock, the footbridge rises 12 feet 2 inches above the water and provides essential pedestrian access between riverbanks.
The name originates from a previous weir structure at this location, which featured a specific 10-foot-wide flash lock system.
