Footpath 200_1 crosses the railway The path follows the long abandoned Portsmouth and Arundel Canal. The railway is the branch to Bognor Regis. The canal was on a slight embankment over this low-lying stretch, as may be seen across the railway. This barge part of the canal became completely disused in the 1850s. The railway, then single track, was opened in 1864. It is not clear from the 1874 OS survey if the railway actually bridged the canal - the towpath was generally at 21 ft OD, something there had a benchmark at 22.9 ft. The railway may have been obliged to bridge, as the canal company was not wound up until 1896. In any event, the railway was doubled in 1911, and clearly now cuts through the canal embankment.

Trailer with big pipes Not far from the local sewage works, but possibly to do with land drainage. Aerial photographs show that they were still there three years later.
