The level crossing on the Shrivenham to Ashbury road was closed in the 1970s, and a concrete footbridge was provided to the side of the original crossing. This became one of my favourite photographic locations in the Vale of White Horse, so I have included this picture of the bridge taken in stunning late evening lighting on 9 June 1987. The village of Ashbury, after which the former crossing got its name, can just be seen in the distance.
