A HISTORIC Victorian bridge that had been falling apart will be restored thanks to protestors who campaigned to save it. Cuddesdon Road railway bridge, in Horspath, became a target for campaigners this year after locals feared it was going to be demolished. Highways England, which owns it, has now announced that the beloved bridge will ‘be restored to its former glory’ and undergo a renovation project. By restoring the bridge, the highway authority hopes locals will be able to continue to use it and preserve 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.
