Talk:Gasworks Bridge

Name
'Where Thames Smooth Waters Glide' refers to this as Osney Footbridge, but I have a suspicion that this name would apply better to linking the two sections of Osney Lane over the railway. Omassey (talk) 16:43, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I too cannot think why this bridge would be called Osney Footbridge - it's not particularly close to Osney. As far as I can see it's called the Gasworks Bridge (with or without "old").  Some examples:


 * A blog entry by the leader of Oxford City Council ("My hidden Oxford")
 * photo on Geograph
 * Heritage Explorer, English Heritage
 * Diary of a Thames Path walk
 * Sustrans
 * Cyclox
 * The Environment Agency, p.37, calls it "Road Bridge", which is strange for a footbridge which used to be a railway bridge. A picture in The Erosion of Oxford (1977) (p.117) shows the bridge apparently with a road ramp, so maybe it was a road bridge for a short time.
 * I have found only one instance of the bridge being called "Osney footbridge" (other than pages obviously derived from WP):


 * Oxford Times 19 Aug 2010
 * On the other hand "Osney Footbridge" is used of a different bridge (the Osney Lane bridge)


 * in Geograph
 * On this evidence, I would rename the page "Gasworks Bridge".--Mhockey (talk) 22:06, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
