Fox Way
A road built in the 1990s to link the new Hangleton Link Road, the A293, to the suburb of Mile Oak. Not the best road to go down after 8-10 inches of snow fell overnight though it didn't stop one idiot BMW driver bombing up it at 40 miles an hour whilst talking on his phone.

Foredown Road
Little more than a byway here, the road has its origins as an access route to the Downs from old village at Portslade. Today it continues beyond the A27 as a bridleway that heads north to Fulking Hill.

Crest Way
Built in the 1990s on the site of the former Foredown Hospital which had been opened in 1883 to treat infectious diseases. The hospital continued in use until the 1980s and was demolished in 1989 leaving only the former water tower, added in 1909, as a reminder.

Once a narrow farm track that linked Hangleton Farm to Portslade village that has been swallowed up by development in the 20th century. Viewed from the junction with Dean Gardens.

Public footpath, North Portslade
This footpath is relatively new and seems to have been part of the housing development of the nineteen eighties. It certainly did not exist in the seventies when the contributor was told to walk back the way he came by an irate farmer when crossing a ploughed field in the same position as the footpath. It would have saved me a hundred metres.

Vallensdean Cottages
Small terrace of cottages lying at right angles to Hangleton Lane that state on the plaque to the left that they were built in 1825 though they don't appear on the 1879 OS map. For a many decades these were the only buildings on Hangleton Lane until eventually swallowed up by suburbia.
