Old Course of A27
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 20 Sep 2008
Until the mid 1970s the A27 headed out of Lewes via South Street turned a sharp bend at Southerham then climbed Ranscombe Hill here. The narrow road was superseded by a larger trunk road when the Lewes by-pass was built, though that too has recently been widened between Beddingham and Southerham Roundabout. The entrance to the left leads to a work site based in an old chalk pit whilst the new access road to the A27 heads off to the right.
