More about this scene
The Arun, described as the second fastest-flowing river in the country, had strong tides; by the 1930s, they reached Pulborough, where two old stone bridges crossed the river. The surviving old Swan bridge was built in 1738 to replace an earlier wooden one, and it has been preserved after a more modern bridge and carriageway were constructed alongside it.

I was born in Canada, but grew up in Pulborough as did my mother and uncle, Maureen and Frank Darby. When I knew we were returning to Canada, a place I didn't remember, it broke my heart, and I vowed never to forget the people and sights of Pulborough.
