Shoreham Toll Bridge is the last example of this kind of bridge and has a surprisingly-rich history. In a stunning position over the River Adur, the bridge offers great views and is close to the 10th-century St Nicolas’ Church. The bridge was initially built in 1781. Prior to that people and animals were pulled from one side of the estuary to the other on a flat raft, a perilous journey at times, or had to walk 10 miles to the bridge at Branbur.
