The road in the background is known as The Pike and is the current route of the A283. The sign is on an area of land known as The Triangle having been formed by the rerouting of The Pike away from its former junction opposite Brook House. The sign has three items on it; St Mary's Church, Rock Windmill and Chanctonbury Hill, all of which are located within the parish. The last named can be seen in the distance to the left of the sign. Most of this area was once part of Washington Common which was inclosed during the mid 19th century.
