Oxford River Wall

Written on 10 March 2017.

Due to it’s age and the burrowing of Signal Crayfish, this 40 metre section of historic wall in central Oxford on the River Cherwell required re-building.

So it has been brought into the 21st century with new crayfish proof footings and a solid concrete wall behind faced with the original stone and incorporating new drainage.

Aquatic planting was included at the toe of the wall and wildflower turf at the top as wildlife mitigation and to improve the aesthetics.
