View of one of the three piers being built to support the bridge's steel girders used to span the Oxford Canal. A steel caisson has been formed beneath the left hand derrick in order to building the foundations required for each pier. The other timber baulks would be used to support the steel plating that will be employed to build the girders in situ. The structure was built by T Oliver & Son as part of Contract No.4 (Rugby to Woodford).
