Stopham Road Old Bridge
Stopham Bridge, Horsham RH20 1DS, United Kingdom
Stopham Road Old Bridge carries a footpath over the River Arun just past the junction with Sir William Green's Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the River Arun was passed on 17 September 1876 after extensive lobbying by Exuperius Picking Junior. In 1888 the Warrington and Gloucester Canal built a branch to join at Glasgow. The canal between Falkirk and Macclesfield was lost by the building of the Lancaster bypass in 2001. "A Very Special Boat" by Nicholas Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Oldpool Locks.

![Stopham Bridge. It's extraordinary to consider that up until 1986, and the opening of [[1502077]], this bridge carried the main A283 road over the River Arun. It was however one of the very first old mediaeval bridges to be reduced to one-way working controlled by traffic lights. These were introduced in 1936, and the diamond shaped grooves in the asphalt surface of the bridge may be part of the old traffic sensing system for the lights. Today no motor traffic can use the bridge as it has bollards at the ends. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, dating from 1442 and is managed by West Sussex County Council. by Nigel Cox – 17 September 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/50/21/1502171_3a32921e_120x120.jpg)
![River Arun: Stopham Bridge. Stopham Bridge was built across the River Arun in 1442 to replace a wooden bridge from the early 1300s. This earlier bridge was constructed on the site of an old ford crossing the river. The central arch of the bridge, although not the central arch over the river, was raised in 1822 to allow masted ships access to and from the Arun Navigation and the Wey and Arun Canal further upriver. Motor traffic now uses a new bridge [[1502077]]. by Nigel Cox – 17 September 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/50/20/1502048_5009c47a_120x120.jpg)









![River Arun: A283 Stopham Road bridge. The new bridge replaced [[1502048]] as the crossing of the A283 over the River Arun. The bridge was completed in 1986 and consists of four spans supported on reinforced concrete piers and abutments. Because of the poor ground conditions the piers are supported on piles that go down some 15 to 20 metres to the sandstone rock formation beneath the surface. A blue horsebox trundles across the bridge heading in the direction of Pulborough. by Nigel Cox – 17 September 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/50/20/1502077_e6996bfd_120x120.jpg)
