The Baybridge Canal.

Baybridge Canal ran 3.5 miles (6 km) through two locks each with a 7 foot rise. The canal was built entirely within the parish of West Grinstead in the English county of Sussex.

It was completed in 1826 using money raised from a £6000 share issue and from a £3000 mortgage. The canal largely followed the course of the River Adur to the point where it could be considered an improvement of a river navigation rather than a canal. The canal's main trade was manure, coal and chalk.

The canal closed 1 September 1875 due to competition from the railways, having been little used after the opening of the railway from Shoreham to West Grinstead in 1861
