Description: Southern Portal, Hardham Tunnel. All that remains of the southern entrance to Hardham Tunnel constructed in the 1790s to carry the Arun Navigation underneath Hardham. The canal closed in 1889 and gradually began to become overgrown, however, it was still possible to canoe underneath it in 1953. Today the entrance has been blocked and the portal is now behind the metal grills erected to prevent anybody entering. Running water can still be heard though.
