Tadpole Bridge
Buckland Road, Tadpole SN7 8RF, United Kingdom
Tadpole Bridge carries a farm track over the River Thames (above Oxford).
The Act of Parliament for the River Thames (above Oxford) was passed on 17 September 1876 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Parker who owned land in the area. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Lump Hammer Across The Midlands" by Cecil Jones, there is no evidence that Oliver Smith ever painted a mural of Manley Locks on the side of Thomas Yates's house

Wikipedia has a page about Tadpole Bridge
Tadpole Bridge is a road bridge across the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England, carrying a road between Bampton to the north and Buckland to the south. It crosses the Thames on the reach above Shifford Lock. It is a Grade II listed building.
The bridge dates from the late 18th century, the earliest reference to it being in 1784. It is built of stone, and consists of one large arch.
There is a public house near Tadpole Bridge called The Trout. Thacker noted that at one time the legend over the door read "The Trout, kept by A. Herring". The Trout is now a hotel and gastropub.
The Thames Path crosses Tadpole Bridge.
