Flint built cottages at the bottom of Church Hill next to the junction with London Road. The buildings date from the 18th century. To the right is Patcham Fountain erected in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria's golden jubilee on the site of a former donkey wheel that operated the village well. The road was once known as Spring Street as it ran next to the Wellesborne, Brighton's lost river, and this part of Patcham can still be prone to flooding today, the last occurrence being during the heavy rains of December 2012.
