Air Raid Shelter near Ford Airfield
This is a disused air raid shelter, which would have been used during the Second World War by those working at the HMS Peregrine airfield at Ford. The airfield itself is now closed, with plans in place for its redevelopment.
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.
