The Crossing

Medley Footbridge is a pedestrian bridge across the River Thames near the village of Binsey in Oxford, England. It is also known as Rainbow Bridge, The bridge joins the west bank of the river to Fiddler's Island in the stream.

 

The bridge bears a plaque with a misspelling which apparently gave rise to a third name, the 'Subscription Bridge':

 

This bridge was erected by public subscription through the exertion and during the shrievalty of Henry Grant Esquire. A.D. 1865.

 

A second plaque, using the name Rainbow Bridge, records its restoration in 1997.
