The A272 as it heads west out of Cowfold. Originally the road was a minor lane that lead to Brownings Farm and no further but was turnpiked as an east-west through route in 1825 becoming Station Road when West Grinstead station was built a couple of miles down the road that opened in 1861 and closed in 1966. Cowfold still retains a number of services with a barbers and beauty saloon on the left, the former once being the village Post Office before that moved to Bolney Road. The other notable point is that the other houses on the left actually front onto the church with their rears facing the main road.
