One of two Brunel brick bridges to carry the railway line across the meandering River Thames in the Goring Gap - the other being the Moulsford Viaduct. Pillboxes sit on opposite banks of the River Thames – in the event of enemy invasion, the railway bridge would have been destroyed. These pillboxes were part of the ‘General Headquarters (GHQ) red line’ designed to delay German invasion heading up from the south coast.
This area is also where archaeologists have found evidence to suggest people during the Upper Palaeolithic period hunted animals at this river crossing point which acted as a natural pinchpoint.
