An old lane that heads off the A295 to serve the farms that lie on the western edge of the Pevensey Levels. The building on the right is Harebeating Mill which was erected in 1823 having moved out of central Hailsham where it had been since 1779 and continued to grind corn into the 1920s before the sails blew off in 1926 and the building itself collapsed in 1934. For many years after the mill was just a ruin until 2005 when developers utilised the roundhouse at the base and rebuilt the mill as a residence giving the building enough of a distinctive shape to remind you of its past.
