There are records which suggest the presence of a bridge on the site in the 14th century but this structure was short-lived and crossing was made by ferry from at least 1379 until a timber bridge was built in 1767. The present stone structure dates from 1827. A toll was payable on both the ferry and the subsequent bridges until 1874 when the County Councils of Berkshire and Oxfordshire joined to buy the bridge from its private trustees and scrapped the charges.

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously common "war memorial".

We rode this section of the Chalk Way..challenging tree roots and the way ahead prohibited to cyclists. Alternative route easy to find

This huge railway bridge crosses the River Thames here. It is locally known as "Four Arches"... because of its four arches. There are two parallel bridges here, in fact, so the bridge is actually two bridges. The original bridge was built between 1838 and 1840 for the main route of the Great Western Railway. The second, parallel, bridge was added in the 1890s. It's a very imposing and impressive structure, particularly if you are just immediately below on the river bank path here.
