Description
The Tilting Bridge, located approximately 700 meters south of King's Sutton Lock on the Oxford Canal, is a canal bridge dating from the late 18th century, with some parts rebuilt in the 20th century. It features a wooden tilting design with inclined counterweight beams that have been renewed. The abutments of the bridge splay outwards and decrease in size. The eastern abutment is constructed of brick and includes limestone fender blocks and bullnose brick copings, while the western abutment has been renewed using cast concrete. This bridge was designed by James Brindley and is a notable feature along the Oxford Canal.
