Bottom perhaps exists, but overgrowth too dense to verify.
BRIDGES: Thirteen fixed road bridges on main line plus one on Longcot Branch, and two railway bridges. Best remaining (for obvious reasons) is G.W.R. at SU 218875: that at Longcot filled, but some brickwork remaining. Best road bridge is Shrivenham Arch (intact with towpath under it). Traces of original masonry at East Challow, Uffington (Wharf), Longcot Old Wharf, and Bridge B4508.
Remainder probably small brick type; all filled and demolished: slight humping at Stockham and Bowles's. No swing or draw bridges, all crossing filled (but passable)
BUILDINGS: Good contemporary wharf cottages at Old Longcot and Uffington, Bourton group (q.v), and mid 19th century Wharf House at Longcot new, with row of small cottages (v. abingdon: ormond terrace). Good lock cottages at Longcot Top and South Marston Top (this with later additions).
7. REMARKS: Milestone (Semington 39) found west of Kingston Common Bridge. Various WBCC boundary marker stones seen at South Marston wharf site.
