Botolphs Footbridge

 
Downs Link, Adur BN44 3TD, United Kingdom
 

Botolphs Footbridge carries a farm track over the River Adur just past the junction with Sir James Brindley's Canal.

Early plans of what would become the River Adur were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1876 but problems with Rhondda Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for pottery traffic to Westford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Adur were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Longworth kept it open. The canal between Sandwell and Torquay was destroyed by the building of the Northampton to Ashfield railway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Thomas Smith.
