A view of the north side of bridge at high tide where it crosses the River Adur at the point where Bramber becomes Upper Beeding. A bridge appears to have been in existence here by the end of the 11th century and was probably built by the De Braose family who owned nearby Bramber Castle. The current stone bridge dates from around 1785 when it replaced a former timber bridge and was built by Magdalen College, Oxford who had acquired ownership from Sele Priory at the Reformation. The north side was widened in 1845 and the steel footbridge on the southern side added in 1926. Bridge House is on the left with the top floor of scaffold clad former Bridge Inn to the right.
