St. Helen's Wharf (inscribed stone) Abingdon, Cast Iron Bridge erected as specified in Act of 1821 over River Ock, inscribed:- "Erected by the Wilts and Berks. Canal Company: AD 1824. Cast at Agramans Bristol"
This bridge has been extended in width, otherwise it is a fine specimen of contemporary cast iron work.

Photograph Nos: 280, 273, 261, 281, 346
Observations: Site entrance of lock now occupied by a small nissan-type building (see 280, 261). The lock was located approximately 40 yards northeast of Boat house on river's edge (see 280). 25" plan consulted at Borough Surveyors office (31/5) shows part of Boat Ho projecting over river, possibly had some canal purpose. Indentation of river bank ///ting canal entrance is clearly visible (280).
"Old Anchor" Inn on riverside may have been resort of boatmen.
SW of lock site is large house in walled grounds (no wall on C[anal]. side)
