Three Entrances, Brighton Road

In the foreground is the junction of Upper Valley Road an unmade road that heads south to link up with The Highway and originated as a farm track accessing Hill Barn. On the opposite to the right is Valley Road which descends into the dry valley and also originates as a farm track leading to a sheepfold and was given its current name during the 1920s when plots of land were sold and began to be built upon. It is now a dead end and only a fool would attempt to do the national speed limit down it. This unmade road was replaced in the 1990s by the new modern road on the left, The Fairway which is the only access for a residential estate just visible below. Peacehaven Golf Course is to the left on the hill.
