The road from Broadbridge Heath to Slinfold and Billingshurst existed in 1347 but first mention of a bridge on this site was in 1615. I think this bridge is 'New' when compared to Image In this view, looking west, the left hand side of the bridge is a brick arch with the right hand side being a reinforced concrete slab. The matching brick parapets would have been built at the time of the widening.
