Not marked on the 1842 tithe map but do appear on the 1875 OS map which gives some idea to the date of their construction. The Sand Field in question is Image which lies immediately behind to the north west, whilst across the lane beyond the trees to the east is Image which until recently was the site of Hassocks Sandpit. Cottages and fields lie on a small ridge of greensand. New Way Lane dates from around the 16th century and was constructed by the owners of Danny House to replace an older and narrow lane that ran south eastwards to Image from the village of Hurstpierpoint.
