Burndell Bridge One of four brick arch bridges built in Yapton over the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, which opened in 1823 and was abandoned in 1855. This bridge was built to allow the owner of Burndell Farm to access their land on the opposite bank of the canal. The farm has now been developed into a small estate, but to this day the bridge is still awaiting restoration.
