Oxford Canal: Site of former Swing Bridge Number 167
The narrow constriction in the distance is the site of former Swing Bridge Number 167. From old large scale Ordnance Survey maps its function appeared to be to provide access from the developed part of Banbury to the canal towpath and the meadows on the west bank of the River Cherwell.
