Car Park, Fox and Hounds, Fox Hill

Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 10 Apr 2011

Originally part of a small common known as Jeffreys Green that surrounded an old crossroads; the old north-south droveway that is now the modern B2112, Hurstwood Lane heading east, and another route that is now just a footpath going west. The first named route was turnpiked in 1770 as part of a main London-Brighton route which I'm guessing would be the origins of the Fox and Hound at the far end. Also constructed in what is now the car park was a toll house known as Cleavewaters after the nearby farm and marked on the 1875 OS map. By the next edition in 1899 it had gone.
