The ornamental rail bridge still stands.
The name of the area derives from the Grandpont, an 11th-century "stone causeway now known to survive within the core of the modern Abingdon Road for a distance of at least 700 metres south of the city centre." The causeway was constructed by the first Norman lord of Oxford, Robert d'Oilly.
