Restoration of the railway bridge in Horspath, will ensure its continued use for local residents in the future, whilst preserving an important piece of British heritage.
The bridge was built in the mid-nineteenth century - during the reign of Queen Victoria - as part of the Princes Risborough to Oxford line and was in use until the 1960s when a decline in passengers led to a decommissioning of the line.
