New Bridge Road was once the main route west out of Billingshurst to Petworth. The building of the Billingshurst by-pass moved the route a couple of hundred metres to the north and cut the old road leaving only a footpath connecting the severed ends over this footbridge. I wonder how many of the inhabitants of the new estates think that this is the "New Bridge" after which the road is named.
