Old Gas Works Bridge, River Thames, Oxford

Old Gas Works Bridge, River Thames, Oxford
The Old Gasworks Bridge is an iron bridge. It crosses the River Thames between Iffley Lock and Osney Lock. It was constructed in 1886. Apparently sections of the bridge were floated into position before assembly. I couldn't find the actual gas works but later discovered they were demolished in 1960 !!

For Sight & Sound was going to use "Bridge Over Trouble Water" but then came across a version of "Love Can Build A Bridge". One of my fave songs by The Judds. It was written by Naomi Judd, Paul Overstreet and John Barlow Jarvis. I had no idea it was recorded for Comic Relief by Cher, Chrissie Hynde and Neneh Cherry with Eric Clapton on guitar. Must have have been asleep when this happened :-)

Was für eine wunderschöne Brücke, schade, das das Gaswerk nicht mehr existiert.
Da hat man sich früher schon seine Gedanken gemacht und gezeigt, wer man ist!
