The building on the right is the former Hurst Brewery which opened in 1862 and closed after the First World War after which it became a cheese factory before passing into the hands of the sports company Slazenger. The former site was converted into residential dwellings in 2006.

A former 19th century Wesleyan Chapel that was converted first to a club and more recently business premises. Further down the street are the former brewery premises now converted into residences.

A small cul de sac off Cuckfield Road containing residences converted from the former buildings of Hurst Brewery which opened in 1862 and closed after the First World War after which it became a cheese factory before passing into the hands of the sports company Slazenger. The former site was converted into residential dwellings in 2006.

Built at right angles to Manor Road sometime around 1850 possibly for nearby brewery workers. In 1902 they were obtained by the then local rector along with a number of other local worthies who was concerned about the bad living conditions. They set up the Hurstpierpoint Cottage Trust to provide affordable well maintained housing for local people and still own the freehold today on all bar one of the twenty cottages. The other was sold to raise capital for repairs.

The print and web design company has occupied what was once the Sussex Arms, a 19th century brewery tap, since 2006. See Image for part of the old brewery. Cuckfield Road was built as a turnpike in the late 18th century and was one of a number of competing London-Brighton routes before they were all superseded by a route to the west which later became the A23.

The four cottages also include 29a and 31a and date from the mid 19th century.

A small estate running northwards off Manor Road built in the 1960s on the site of Manor Nurseries. Viewed at sunset.

Dating from the early 19th century and possibly originally part of the neighbouring Lamb Inn, of which only the building with the arch survives, see http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/sussex/hurstpierpoint_lambinn.html for a similar view from the early part of the 20th century. Not sure when the pub closed or when the old building was redeveloped.
