This runs alongside the railway and used to be an unmade road from the old Polegate Station to the High Street. It was owned by the railway and was called the Black Path because cinders from the steam engines was used to surface it. When it was taken over and surfaced by the council in the 1980s it was named "Black Path Road" but locals used to tape over the word "road" so it is now just called "Black Path". The new Polegate Station can be seen on the far left.
