New Bridge, Rocky Lane
Built to replace Image with the bridge put in place in early 2014 and opened to the public from August 2014 onwards, more than a year ahead schedule. Beyond is another new development called The Beeches which the council allowed only if Crest Nicholson, the developers, built the new bridge and this section of the A272 relief road. It also means the boundary of Haywards Heath which for many years ran along Rocky Lane is now creeping southwards.

High Bridge
Viewed from Image and as such one not possible until the latter was opened in the autumn of 2014. Built at the time of the line's construction to carry Rocky Lane over the railway it has now been made redundant. Its closeness to the former St Francis Hospital meant for many decades it was a popular suicide spot resulting in the parapet being raised initially by extra layers of brickwork and later on by high fencing which has since been removed. The road sign next to the now truncated section of Rocky Lane says there is access to Bolnore's lower village but there was none on this day though I believe this will be the case in the future. Just visible in the distance beyond the Thameslink train heading south to Brighton is Ashenground Bridge.

Old Course of Rocky Lane
The old narrow section that ran south westwards from Image has now been removed and is supposed to be developed into pedestrian and cycle access to the southern end of Bolnore Village.

Old House Cottages, Rocky Lane
Originally a single farmhouse that dates back to the late 16th century. The sub division of the property appears to have happened in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
