We return to Shoreham today, specifically Old Shoreham. This picture, taken from the west bank of the River Adur, shows the Old Shoreham toll bridge with St Nicolas church in the background. This bridge was for many years the main crossing of the river although only wide enough for a single carriageway. The bridge was originally built in 1781 and was restored in 2008 when it was re-opened by the Duke of York. "Restored" is rather euphemistic as the bridge was practically rebuilt.
