Old Shoreham Bridge
Bridge over the River Adur near Old Shoreham, now a foot/cycle bridge. Originally built in 1781, it was rebuilt to the same design during the First World War. Until 1970 it formed part of the A27, with a toll for its use, until relieved by the opening of the Shoreham bypass, with a new viaduct over the river around 300m north of the old bridge. It was then closed to road traffic and made a bridleway. It underwent a full restoration in 2008. Grade II* listed - see Link
