Abingdon Bridge is the northern part towards the town which has six arches and crosses the backwater and mill stream.

Abingdon Bridge was begun in 1416 and completed in 1422,[3] using local limestone quarried at Besselsleigh and Dry Sandford.

[3] In 1553 a royal charter founded Christ's Hospital to replace the guild and take over most of its property and functions, including custody and maintenance of Abingdon's bridges.

[3] The bridge was rebuilt again in 1927, this time by the County Councils of Berkshire and Oxfordshire, with J. J. Leeming as resident engineer.

[10] There have been reported sightings of the ghostly apparition of an unidentified woman's head and arms beneath the water flowing under the bridge.
