Bridge in Appleton, Oxfordshire

Hart's Weir Footbridge is a single-span concrete footbridge across the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England.

The bridge was built in 1879 on the site of a weir that was removed a year later. Then known as Hart's Weir, it had previously been Ridge's, Langley's, Cock's, Rudge's, and Butler's Weir.[1] Sixteen years later Northmoor Lock was built downstream.
