The road was straightened some time ago with the lane to the left being the old route that ran between the church and the old School, the white building just visible through the foliage. The road was upgraded from the B2109 to the A26 during the 1970s as part of the construction of the Lewes By-Pass and designed to take heavy lorries going to and from the port of Newhaven away from the narrow streets of the town. Mount Caburn provides the backdrop.
