The development of the port of Littlehampton, West Sussex, and excavations at East Bank, River Road

by TIMOTHY BRADLEY & CHRISTOPHER PHILLPOTTS

Excavations at East Bank, River Road, Littlehampton revealed a series of alluvial deposits, a late-eighteenth-century chalk well, and a large early-nineteenth-century wharf building, which fronted onto a dock to its west. In the late nineteenth century the dock was infilled and alterations were made to the wharf building. A coal shed was added to the rear and another structure was erected to the north to front River Road. A series of tiebacks retaining a river defence wall dating to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century was also recorded. This paper integrates the findings of the archaeological excavations with cartographic and documentary sources in order to trace the process of wharf building and the subsequent development of the east bank of the River Arun in Littlehampton during the later post-medieval period.
