A winter view of Image Looking at old maps it seems that the cross was moved to this position when the new course of the A27 was constructed during the 1960s, its old position was roughly where a bus stop and layby is located. The cross lies at an old crossroads where the east-west route from West Firle to Selmeston crossed the old droving road that is now Heighton Street and the lane to Ripe. Burgh Lane is the road in view with the A27 beyond the bank and trees to the left.
