Abingdon Bridge, Oxfordshire over the River Thames |

 |
||||
| This picture shows the southern half of Abingdon Bridge, the Nag's Head pub on the left being on an island (Nag's Head Island). The medieval bridge was built in 1416 but then mostly rebuilt in 1927, although two arches at the northern Abingdon end were retained (not shown). | ||||

| Cottages at the southern end of the bridge known as Maud Hales Terrace. The house on the right has the date 1753. Is it quite that old? Possibly refaced. | ||||
