Former Shoreham-Horsham Railway
This is the embankment that took the line away from the river then over the A283 before joining the West Coastway line. The route opened in 1861 and closed in 1966 though the section between here and Beeding Cement Works remained open until 1981. Much of the embankment has been cleared making you wonder whether it will be removed in the future as following the success of the Ropetackle development there are talks of expanding the riverside and developing the former industrial units that occupied the space between the two railways and the river, some of which can still be seen to the left. The building on the right is Bridge View a recent development built on a former caravan site.

The rear view of this,
Image where the vegetation has now been cleared after the extension of the Downs Link path was built between the old Toll Bridge and the Ropetackle development. The Horsham-Shoreham line opened in 1861 and was closed in 1966 except for a small section between Shoreham and Beeding Cement Works that remained open until 1981.

Ready for Development
Taken from the embankment of the former Shoreham-Horsham line the small industrial unit that once occupied this spot has been demolished and is awaiting redevelopment. The railway and its bridge over the Adur is to the left with the northern edge of the Ropetackle development beyond it. A similar riverfront project may well be planned for this part.

Petrol Pump Graveyard
One of the units on the Riverbank Industrial Estate deals with the dismantling of old petrol pumps. This is the storage yard to the rear, taken from the old railway embankment with the River Adur beyond and Lancing College Chapel in the distance.

The Swiss Cottage
Occupying part of the site of the Swiss Gardens (after which the pub was presumably named) including the old boating lake, now turned over to the ducks. This is very much a pub restaurant with the large, single-storey extension housing the kitchen.
