Ford - A4

This is the bridge at the ford. A ford is a place on the river where the water is shallow enough for cars to drive across.

There are lots of towns that have 'ford' in their name like Stratford and Oxford. This is probably because long ago, people settled where there was a ford on the river and it grew into a town.
