Hythe Bridge, Cast iron bridge in central Oxford, England
The flat iron bridge spans the Castle Mill Stream, a backwater of the River Thames, connecting Hythe Bridge Street with the city center.
Between 1200 and 1210, Oseney Abbey constructed the first wooden bridge, later replaced by a stone structure with three arches in 1383.
The bridge's name comes from the Saxon word 'hithe', meaning landing place, marking the location of a former wharf along the waterway.
The bridge forms part of the A4144 road system, providing an essential connection between Oxford city center and the western districts.
Engineer John Galpin designed the current Victorian iron structure in 1861, replacing previous wooden and stone versions that served the area.
