The bridge is close to Rewley Road Swing Bridge just to the east,[2] an older and now disused swing bridge for the former Buckinghamshire Railway line of London and North Western Railway that used to serve the Oxford Rewley Road railway station.[3] It is also close to Rewley Road Bridge to the east.[1] Sheepwash channel links the River Thames with the Oxford Canal via Castle Mill Stream and Isis Lock.
