Bridleway to Broxmead Lane

An old Barnetts estate map from the late 1960s has this bridleway down as West Street though I've not seen a reference to this elsewhere. An early OS map has West Street as the name of a settlement near the junction of this bridleway and Broxmead Lane, whilst the 1843 Cuckfield tithe map has an adjacent field called Wish Street Field a little to the north. By the 1897 OS map the name has been shifted westwards and seems to refer to the houses along the section of Broxmead Lane as it runs westwards towards the parish boundary with Bolney. By the 1937 edition the name has disappeared from the map altogether. The bridleway itself separates open fields to the west, Windmill Field, Image and Image respectively, with Long Wood to the east.
