Shoreham Tollbridge, Grade II* listed bridge in Shoreham-by-Sea, England

The wooden bridge spans across the River Adur, connecting Shoreham-by-Sea with Lancing through a traditional timber construction supported by multiple beams.

Built in 1781 following an Act of Parliament, the bridge replaced a dangerous ferry system and required users to pay sixpence for crossing until 1968.

The bridge structure represents early British transportation engineering, demonstrating the economic development of Sussex during the Industrial Revolution period.

Current access is limited to pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders, making it a connection point between the South Coast Cycleway and South Downs Way.

The structure remains the last toll bridge in Sussex and contains original 18th-century wooden components maintained through periodic restoration work.

Location: Adur

Official opening: 1782
