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.

Roundabout, Hangleton Link Road
Other than the entrance to Sainsbury's further south the only access points to the A293, from the west is Fox Way that links the suburb of Mile Oak and to the east Hangleton Lane which leads to the suburb of Hangleton. Not surprisingly after 8-10 inches of snow fell overnight there is very little traffic on this normally busy route.

Entrance to the Benfield Valley Golf Course
This 9 hole course uses some of the old West Hove Golf Course holes.
With the building of the Brighton Bypass and the subsequent link road, the West Hove Golf Club were relocated to north of the bypass. The former clubhouse was south of the present Sainsbury's car park.

Benfield Valley Local Nature Reserve
A narrow strip of land separating Portslade from the suburb of Hangleton. Formerly part of West Hove Golf Club which operated here from 1910 to 1991 before the by-pass split their course in two and took away some land to build the Hangleton Link Road caused them to relocate north of the A27. This section between Sainsbury's and Hangleton Lane is now an open public space with footpaths linking the nature reserve with the two suburbs mentioned above.

Hangleton Link Road
The A293 that was built in the early 1990s to link the old course of the A27, now the A270, to the new one being constructed as the Brighton By-Pass. For a brief period this road was the A27 prior to the section between the Hangleton and Holmbush Interchanges being completed. Normally a busy road the only traffic on this day is a man struggling through the snow with his shopping from Sainsbury's.

Car Park, Benfield Valley Golf Course
The 9 hole golf course is situated in the northern part of Benfield Valley using some of the fairways vacated by West Hove Golf Course when it relocated north of the A27. The chimney in view is one of the few structural remains of a row of late 19th century agricultural labourer's cottages that were built on the site of Benfield Manor Farm which was demolished in 1871.
