   • 1946 January and February, G. A. Sekon, “The L.B.S.C.R. West Coast Section”, in Railway Magazine, page 15:

     After much strenuous controversy the Shoreham and Chichester Railway agreed to pay the Duke of Norfolk a large sum for the presumed loss of bridge tolls that would result from the construction of the railway, and also purchased the old wooden bridge about a mile up the river, which served the alternative road through Old Shoreham. It may be remarked here that the Shoreham-Horsham branch crosses the highway on the level at the Old Shoreham end of the wooden bridge, where a block signal box is provided.
