Goring and Streatley Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goring and Streatley Bridge is a road bridge across the River Thames in England. The bridge links the twin villages of Goring-On-Thames, Oxfordshire, and Streatley, Berkshire, and is adjacent to Goring Lock. The current bridge on the site was built in 1923.
The bridge is in two parts: The western bridge is from Streatley to an island in the river (overlooking The Swan hotel, once owned by Danny La Rue); The eastern bridge is from the island to Goring and overlooks Goring Lock.
Both the Thames Path and the The Ridgeway cross the Thames on this bridge.
In the 1970's a Citroën Dyane crashed through the railings at the Streatley end of the bridge landing on a concrete weir 5M below. The local Citroën dealer used the photo to illustrate the inherent strength of their upmarket 2CV
