Built in 1818 originally as a pair but now converted into one house. The strip of ground between myself and the cottage should by an archeologists delight containing the line of the old Arundel-Chichester canal as well as the site of the original deserted village of Ford. The canal ran diagonally through this small field with the cottage, which housed the workers who manned one of two locks in the vicinity, lying to the north of the waterway. The wall on the left belongs to Ford church.
