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.

Worth Way, just before passing under B2036, Crawley
The disused railway between Crawley and East Grinstead was converted into a hard surfaced route for non-motorised traffic. Here we see the route heading towards E. Grinstead, just before passing under the Balcombe Road. The tunnel is not an original from the days when steam trains used to ply this route.
