Castle Lane, Bramber
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 5 Jun 2016
The old highway linking Steyning to Bramber that was superseded by a new turnpike to the south in 1764 that is still the main route between the two today. Bramber Castle itself would have once towered over the trees at the far end of the lane but now its ruins lie concealed by them. This portion of the road is located to the east of the current bypass which has cut off the old through route. Prior to its construction in 1981 and before the railway closed in 1966 the lane crossed the track by an old level crossing.
