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.
