• description: This bridge is partly in Horsham District Council and partly in former Petworth Rural District, the major portion being in the latter. The River Arun here forms 2 branches with an island in the middle. The bridge spans both but the boundary between the 2 Districts passes through the centre of the east branch. The bridge was erected in 1875 but is built in the medieval tradition. Ashlar. The west branch of the river is spanned by 4 low eppilptical arches, the east branch by one similar arch with a solid portion between. Blunt cut-waters between the western arches. Buttresses flanking the eastern arch and the solid portion. Modillion cornice below the parapet. Over this and above each pier is a semi-circular pierced recess corbelled out from each pier. The road approaches of the bridge are flanked by piers supporting ball caps and also an opening from the south side of the bridge on to the island. The asset was previously listed also under List entry 1027476 in the district of Horsham, parish of Amberley. This entry was removed from the List on 13 March 2017. Historic England
