Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1191342 Alfriston is a village in East Sussex, some 6½ miles northwest of Eastbourne and 3½ miles northeast of Seaford. The village lies on the west bank of the Cuckmere River. There is evidence of occupation in the Neolithic period, with several long barrows on the surrounding downs. The village is home to The Star Inn, built in 1345 to accommodate monks and pilgrims en route from Battle Abbey to Chichester Cathedral. Also in the village is the Old Clergy House, the first building acquired by the National Trust in 1898.

Alternatively known as Waterloo Square due to the army barracks located behind the houses to the left that were stationed in this village during the Napoleonic Wars. These buildings date from the 17th century and have all been converted into shops. At the eastern end of the square next to the junction with North Street are Bank House a former farmhouse that dates from the 18th century and The Old Bank, now a shop but originally a small bank.

The biggest change in this photograph appears to be that the large tree has been replaced since 1979 when comparing with Google Street Level Maps.
