Redeveloped quays near the by-pass bridge. Much of the river traffic decreased from the mid 19th century as the port of Littlehampton was developed and any remaining ended when the swing bridge at Ford was replaced in 1932 when the West Coastway line was electrified. However, the post 194 local plan envisaged the waterfront area to retain light industries but these too had moved by the 1980s the last to go being a sawmill. Consequently, the waterfront has now lost any remaining industrial buildings and replaced with waterside homes.
