River, Petworth lies within the GU 28 postal district of West Sussex, England. The River Rother, which flows through the area, originates in Hampshire and travels 52 kilometres before joining the River Arun. The majority of the river’s course is within West Sussex, with the first 10 kilometres in Hampshire. Historically, the upper section of the river, from its source to Midhurst, powered watermills as early as 1086, the year of the Domesby survey. While no mills are still operational, many of the buildings that housed them remain, some retaining their original machinery. The upper river is also notable for a number of early bridges that have survived from the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, reflecting the long history of the locale and its infrastructure.
