More about this scene

From Crowborough the route heads back nearer to Hailsham's environs and to the village of East Hoathly, a village now much more peaceful than a few years ago. The road sign (left) at the junction of the High Street and London Road gives the clue. Fortunately for the village, it is now by- passed by the busy A22, but until then traffic had to negotiate this very sharp bend, and the London to Eastbourne traffic made the centre of the village a less than pleasant fume- filled place, I recall, particularly at weekends.
