The modern B2112 was constructed as a turnpike in 1830 linking Ditchling with other routes travelling towards Brighton. The new road effectively bypassed the old route over Ditchling Beacon turning that into a minor route. A straight road that is busy and fast with no verges for walkers hence wandering down the road at 6.30 on a Sunday morning. The sun's first rays are visible in the sky above a light cloud cover rapidly disappearing.
