The junction of the A281 and B2116 is still called Crouch Hill Gate on modern maps and was once the site of a tollhouse roughly located where the current gravel parking area is, see http://www.henfieldthenandnow.net/uploads/2/6/8/6/26865739/1041149_orig.jpg for a view taken around 1912. The tollhouse was built in the late 18th century as part of the Henfield Turnpike Trust which operated a stretch of an old London-Brighton coaching route between Henfield and Horsham. It remained in use as a cottage when the road was disturnpiked in the 1880s but was pulled down around 1920 since when the road has been widened.
