The bridge in the photo is called the Horseshoe Bridge and is now a listed monument. It's original function was to allow the passage of canal horses over Kennetmouth to rejoin the Thames towpath. The pretty River Kennet, springs out of the chalk at Swallowhead Spring, part of the World Heritage site at Avebury, and in sight of Silbury Hill and West Kennet Longbarrow. It is thought that the junction of the two rivers - the Kennet was once the bigger river - was a sacred spot where offerings were made to the river deities. An ancient wharf was located by the Kennet and Thames, perhaps from Roman times; it commenced near the Jolly Anglers pub and traversed the area to reach the Dreadnought Inn behind which was found an Anglo-Saxon Cemetry in the early 20th century. The area is an important junction of wildlife corridors and has a wide variety of wildlife including otters. Herons are frequently seen here, fishing from the banks. Dean's Farm on the opposite bank of the Thames may have been the site of the home of the foritfied manor house of William Marshall, once Regent of England, who may have been the model for Sir Lancelot and is buried in the Temple Church in London. Currently under threat from developers for the third time local residents are involved in action to stop the urbanisation of Kennet mouth because it will destroy the beauty and peacefullness of the Two Rivers.

Wikipedia has a page about Horseshoe Bridge
The Horseshoe Bridge in Perth, Western Australia, connects the Perth CBD to Northbridge, carrying William Street over the Fremantle railway line. It was constructed in 1904, with the horseshoe shape designed to fit the approach ramps into a constricted site. The bridge was closed from the end of 2009 to early 2010 to enable conversion to two-way traffic flow.
