The start of the section of the A27 known locally as Firle Straight begins from this point and continues up to the junction with the lane to West Firle. This road was constructed in the 1960s replacing the old narrow and winding Burgh Lane and Wick Street and necessitated the demolition of an old lodge that lay at the entrance to Heighton Street which is currently visible to the left. Mount Caburn is just visible through the trees.
