Ocean Swing Bridge Appeal
Ocean Swing Bridge was built in about 1776 to provide access over the new Stroudwater Navigation to a nearby water mill.
The historic Stroudwater Navigation is now being restored for the benefit of the local economy, walkers, anglers, cyclists, tourists and boaters.
Work on this important bridge is due to take place in the autumn of 2011 and is part of a major programme of works taking place over the next 3 years.
The Cotswold Canals Trust, a registered charity now with over 6000 members, is seeking to help raise £160,000 to fully restore this structure back to a manually operated traditional swing bridge similar in style to that of the original.
Below is an artists impression of the new bridge.

Donations of any amount are welcome.
Sponsors who contribute a sum over £10,000 will benefit from the opportunity to have their name on a commemorative plaque on, or adjacent to, the new bridge.
