Aniska Lodge

A substantial nursing home on the old Brighton Road that now overlooks the A23. Parts of the building date back to the 16th century but the house was extended in the 19th century and more recently when it converted to its current use. The building has had many names, it is marked as Pitts Head on Cuckfield's 1842 tithe map, Hazeldean on the 1879 OS map and by the early 20th century had become Old Haslings Hotel which it remained until the 1960s. After its closure it reopened a few later as Markwells Hotel until the 1980s when it became The Taverners, a restaurant and night club. When it became Aniska Lodge I've yet to find out. In the foreground the road widening works of the A23 are in progress.
