Houses faced with both knapped and unknapped flints can be found in the centre of the old part of Patcham village, here lining the Old London Road. The narrowness of the road here, coupled with the amount of tourist traffic to Brighton, made a bypass essential from the very early days of motoring, and the current A23 London Road that bypasses this part of Patcham to the west was built in 1926, being shown on the 1930 edition of the Ordnance Survey map.
