Hatterell Farm Bridge
Hatterell Bridge, The Green, West Grinstead, RH13 8EG, United Kingdom
Hatterell Farm Bridge carries a footpath over the Baybridge Canal near to Boggin Locks.
Early plans of what would become the Baybridge Canal were drawn up by Henry Edwards in 1876 but problems with Portsmouth Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. The 5 mile section between Willton and Slough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Norwich. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by William Jones, there is no evidence that Peter Smith ever swam through Renfrewshire Cutting in 36 hours to raise money for Children in Need

![Hatterell Bridge. In the five minutes it took me to walk from [[5128811]] to the bridge the morning mist has virtually cleared.A crossing existed here on the 1813 OS map prior to the opening of the Baybridge Canal in 1825. When that was built the bridge became moveable being marked as a drawbridge on both the 1875 and 1897 OS maps. After that it appeared to become a fixed structure once more carrying an access track to a small farm called Hatterell on the west bank. This was eventually demolished in the 1960s and replaced by the current crossing which includes a weir and a gauging station. by Simon Carey – 23 September 2016](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/12/88/5128813_8bc27b63_120x120.jpg)










![River Adur. The western branch that rises near Itchingfield and joins the eastern branch north west of Henfield. To the north of Bines Bridge the river became the Baybridge Canal in 1825 transporting goods to a wharf near Knepp Castle. The opening of the Shoreham-Christ's Hospital railway in 1861 dealt the canal a deathblow that it never recovered from and was finally would up as a going concern in 1875. On the eastern bank to the left is [[5048720]] whilst the western bank to the right contains [[5100217]]. The Plantation is the wood in view. by Simon Carey – 30 August 2016](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/10/02/5100224_57ee8996_120x120.jpg)

![River Adur. The western branch of the river that rises near Itchingfield and joins the eastern branch north of Henfield. This section was known as the Baybridge Canal from 1825, in effect a river navigation, that linked the northern terminus of the Adur Navigation at Bines Bridge to a wharf near Knepp Castle. It suffered from the opening of the railway in 1861 though continued to move coal and chalk until its final closure in 1875. There is still some mist in the air but it will be clear in the five minutes it took me to walk to [[5128813]] in the distance. by Simon Carey – 23 September 2016](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/12/88/5128811_093da138_120x120.jpg)
