Sussex Road
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 30 Aug 2007
An ancient highway that once crossed the lonely heath from Lindfield to Ditchling now the B2112. One of the main shopping streets of the town though not the original as the distance between buildings and pavement on both sides implies former gardens. The large building to the left was built in the late 1960s and included a Co-op department store at its base which has long gone. The crane to the right is currently helping to construct new buildings on the site of the former Sussex Hotel built at the crossroads in 1861 and originally known as the Volunteer.
