Oxford Canal: Stevens Lift Bridge Number 175
Oxford Canal: Stevens Lift Bridge Number 175
Like most, if not all, of the lift bridges on the Oxford Canal, this is a Grade II Listed Structure. Strangely the Ordnance Survey call this a swing bridge, which is an entirely different type of structure, on all the historic editions of their large scale mapping. These bridges are always left in the open tilted state.
