Remnant of the old Portsmouth-Arundel Canal where it joined the River Arun. There were two locks and a water pumping station here whilst the canal headed off out of the picture to the right. This part was the first to built in 1818 but had been abandoned after 1847. The basin is now home to four houseboats out of picture to the right.
