Stopham Bridge - A wider view

Stopham Bridge is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Monument, located in the Hamlet of Stopham about 1.5 miles West of Pulborough, believed to been constructed circa1422-3. One span of the bridge was destroyed during the Civil War and replaced by a drawbridge. The bridge's central arch was modified in 1822 and bears this date.

The bridge carried the A283 through the village, with traffic light control being introduced in 1936. The bridge was badly damaged by Army lorries during the Second World War but has been repaired since.

In 1986, a new reinforced concrete bridge, located 100 feet North of the old bridge was completed to carry all the road traffic leaving this bridge to pedestrians and cyclists only.
