Located to the immediate north of Old Shoreham Road, the A270. Originally the southern most field in the parish of Hangleton called Upper and Lower Dean according to its 1841 tithe map. In 1910 Benfield valley was converted into the West Hove Golf Course with the former club house located just out of shot to the left. The course remained until 1991 when construction of the Brighton By-Pass including the Hangleton Link Road, located beyond the trees where lamp posts can be made out, caused it to relocate north of the A27. The area south of Hangleton Lane was split between a Sainsbury's superstore and a new park. A group of friends have just started an eight-a-side match.
