The relics of the abandoned Ouse Valley Railway are located on the western side of the B2028 at the foot of the hill prior to the road entering the Ouse flood plain. A bridge was built here along with plans to construct a station for Lindfield. The railway was never competed, the whole idea behind it was to prevent other companies muscling their way into LBSCR territory by gaining an act of Parliament to construct it then build it as slowly as possible. Worked commenced in 1866 and was stopped the following year after a major railway financing bank collapsed. The bridge was marked on the 1875 OS map but had been pulled down by the 1897 edition with all brick work later removed on the eastern side to make the bend in the road safer, see Image
