Bicentennial Celebration Event
The Spring Arts and Heritage Centre, Old Town Hall, 56 East Street, Havant, Hampshire, PO9 1BS
Until 1824 anyone wishing to visit or leave Hayling Island either had to find a boat or to use the Wadeway, a shallow route that gave a muddy walk, at low tide, across Langstone harbour. However, the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, completed in 1823, cut the Wadeway, necessitating a new solution. This was the weight limited road bridge replaced in 1956 by the present crossing.
