Formerly two company cottages of the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, by the second and top lock up from the Arun. For many years these, and indeed the general area, were dominated by the engine house and chimney for the pump needed to supply the long and leaky summit level of the canal with water from the Arun. This building was just to the right of the cottages, but had gone by the later 19th century.
