Standing on what was once the Horley to East Grinstead road, now bypassed by the bridge carrying Antlands Lane over the M23 motorway which runs a couple of hundred yards to the west of here. Old maps show an Inn here in the late 19th century; at that time there would have been no motorway or electricity pylons nearby, nor the overflying of jets taking off from Gatwick Airport - a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 can be seen to the right of the pylon.
