Rewley Road Swing Bridge
Heritage Open Day: Visit the site of the Rewley Road Swing bridge to see the results of the restoration of an outstanding example of Victorian railway engineering. The Swing Bridge is a unique Victorian cast-iron railway bridge, designed by the famous Victorian engineer Robert Stephenson and dating from 1851. It sits next to the water at the Oxford Canal and was built to allow both trains and boats to cross the Sheepwash Channel, industries which were very important to Oxford. When the bridge was still in use, the railwaymen swung the bridge open to let boats pass and then swung it closed to allow trains to pass.
