Grandpont Bridge is a footbridge across the River Thames near the centre of Oxford, England. It links Friars Wharf in St Ebbes on the north bank to the Geoffrey Arthur Building of Pembroke College, built in 1990,〔(Pembroke College website )〕 and the Grandpont area. It crosses the Thames on the reach between Iffley Lock and Osney Lock. The bridge is also used by cyclists. It lies on the Hanson Way, part of National Cycle Network route 5.〔(Sustrans: The Hanson Way )〕 The Environment Agency refers to the bridge as "Grandpont Bridge".〔(Environment Agency: Users Guide to the Thames ), p.41〕 Another source also calls the bridge "Oxford footbridge".〔('Where Thames Smooth Waters Glide' ) 〕 The bridge was built in the 1930s.〔The (1936 Ordnance Survey map ) shows no bridge. An aerial view from the 1930s shows the bridge, in ''The Changing Faces of St Ebbe's and St Thomas, Book One'' ISBN 1-899536-17-5, page 29.〕 The bridge only carried a utility pipe and lacked a walkway in 1977. The bridge takes its name from Grandpont, the area south of the bridge, which itself takes its name from a much earlier bridge-causeway which included the next bridge downstream, now known as Folly Bridge. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grandpont Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
