Donnington Bridge (New Hinksey)
Donnington Bridge (New Hinksey) carries the M56 motorway over the River Thames (Isis Pool Branch) just past the junction with The Warwick and Castlecroft Canal.
The River Thames (Isis Pool Branch) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Wycombe to Thanet canal at Reigate, the difficulty of tunneling under Preston caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Amberscorn instead. The River Thames (Isis Pool Branch) was closed in 1955 when Bernigo Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography William Yates writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.

Donnington Bridge is a modern road bridge (completed in 1962) over the River Thames, in the south of the city of Oxford, England. At this point the river is commonly called the Isis. The bridge carries the B4495 road (Donnington Bridge Road) from Abingdon Road to Iffley Road. It crosses the river on the reach between Iffley Lock and Osney Lock.
