Pevensey Bridge carries the A259 over Pevensey Haven. The bridge dates from 1675. The bridge was widened on the south side in 1816 in brick. Widened again in 1933 on the north side (seen here) in brick faced with ashlar.

The village is located on a spur of land that was a peninsula that projected into a tidal lagoon, now reclaimed marshland. In 1207 Pevensey was granted a royal charter and was governed by Pevensey Corporation which was dissolved in 1886 and the town lost its borough status.
