Stopham Bridge on the Arun, Sussex (original) (raw)

Stopham Bridge on the Arun, Sussex. Photograph by Gertrude Jekyll from Old English Household Life, p. 194. According to Jekyll,

The large bridge at Stopham, in Sussex, over the Arun, a few miles north of Arundel, . . . gains in its appearance of importance from the high central arch, so built to allow the passage of loaded hay barges, and from the small bastion-like projections that come over the pier, for the safety of foot passengers on the narrow road. [192]
