B2036, Balcombe Road, Crawley
The bus stops, 'Worth Road, Pound Hill', were set up for the improved Metrobus route 7 to Gatwick, and the very infrequent Metrobus route 272 from Haywards Heath then started using them. Economics has meant that both routes are now defunct. However, a shortened route 272 was revived, with Sussex Coaches giving a once a day service from Balcombe to Crawley and back, timed for shoppers. This is the only service at these stops although stops close by on other roads give good services.

Blackwater Lane
The 'new town' part of the lane. Formerly the old lane crossed from left to right in the immediate foreground, but a right-angled bend was inserted during the new town development to connect to this new section. It leads to Worth Road rather than Balcombe Road, with the Balcombe Road route demoted to a footpath.

Former course of Blackwater Lane, Pound Hill, Crawley
This section of the lane was demoted to a footpath during the development of Crawley New Town. The lane, formerly connecting to Balcombe Road ahead, was diverted to connect to Worth Road. Much earlier, before the building of the section of Balcombe Road here in the early 19th century, the route continued further on straight ahead down what is now Green Lane (partly a footpath now) to connect to Church Lane, then the main road.

Snowy bend on Blackwater Lane
The road now does a sharp left turn here, but once continued straight on to meet Balcombe Road. That part is now a footpath only.

Twilight of the sodium lamp
Only a matter of days left to see this cosy glow on Blackwater Lane, where street lamps are scheduled to be replaced with more efficient lighting. It had just about stopped snowing, with a cold night forecast.
