Abingdon and Culham bridges and causeway were built in 1416 which made a more direct route from London to the west country and brought great prosperity to the Town. The Bridge was first widened in 1820.Then in 1928 there was a major reconstruction took place with total demolition of the main navigational Arch over the Thames. This was replaced with a more graceful arch, If you look all you can see is the Tempoary Wooden structure to cross. |
