The Portslade Gassie
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 9 Dec 2007
A memorial to the ferry service that once ran from the northern shore of The Canal to Portslade Gas Works on the southern side. The rowing boat was the quickest way for workers living in Portslade-by-Sea to cross over to work saving a forty minute walking journey around the eastern end of the basin. The memorial is on the junction of Wellington Road (A259) and Church Road (b2139), the latter can be seen in the background.
