A cul de sac off King's Barn Lane that was built in the 1960s.

A cul de sac off King's Barn Lane that was developed from the late 19th century onwards. Located next to the former railway this piece of land began life as a timber yard which had closed by the time of the 1897 OS map. The northern end had become a wool store whilst the track slowly began to be developed with housing with those on the right, Lucastes and Haltwhistle erected in the first decade of the 20th century. The rest of the road was infilled during the 1950s and 60s. Just visible in the distance is Image

A very old right of way that originally ran over open fields to a detached portion of Steyning called Spratt's Marsh located in the shadows of Bramber Castle. The path has remained despite development, a footbridge was built over the railway in 1861, Holland Road and Castle Way follow the route and this path has been laid between Goring Road and Roman Road. Here it crosses the southern tip of Rosemary Avenue.

Carrying an old right of way over Steyning By-Pass though the bridge originally carried pedestrians over the Shoreham-Christ's Hospital railway that operated from 1861 to 1966. The by-pass was opened in 1981. This view looks towards King's Barn Villas.

Viewed from the pedestrian footbridge that links King's Barn Villas to Goring Road and looking towards the road bridge carrying King's Barn Lane. Both bridges were originally built to carry traffic over the railway which closed in 1966. The by-pass was opened in 1981.

Viewed from the footbridge that links King's Barn Villas with Goring Road. This part of the by-pass was built along the trackbed of the former Shoreham-Horsham railway line that operated between 1861-1966. The road was constructed in the mid 1980s to reduce congestion in Steyning, Bramber and Upper Beeding. The bridge in the distance carries King's Barn Lane over the A283.

Public footpath 2729.

Built as the Railway Inn probably in the 1860s when the Shoreham-Christ's Hospital railway was opened. It ceased being a pub in the 1930s possibly due to being in competition with the Railway Hotel which was located on the opposite side of the road and thus slightly nearer the station, see Image It has since been converted into flats with the section facing the road called The Firs and a two storey dwelling to the rear named Rose cottage which still retains some old pub advertising on its external walls.
