No.30925 'Cheltenham', arriving at Horsted Keynes with a train for East Grinstead.

The South Box is unique amongst surviving LBSCR boxes, being designed by the railway along with the stations on the line, rather than by Saxby & Farmer, who supplied the signalling equipment, and usually the boxes as well. Horsted Keynes Signal Box was first listed as a Grade II Listed Building on the 27th February 1997.

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom, covered by around 375,000 listings. Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites, and in more recent times a road crossing (Abbey Road) and graffiti art (Banksy 'Spy-booth') have been included. In England and Wales there are three main listing designations; Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important. Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest. Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest. There are also locally listed structures (at the discretion of local authorities) using A, B and C designations. In Scotland three classifications are also used but the criteria are different. There are around 47,500 Listed buildings. Category A (8%)- generally equivalent to Grade I and II* in England and Wales Category B (51%)- this appears generally to cover the ground of Grade II, recognising national importance. Category C (41%)- buildings of local importance, probably with some overlap with English Grade II. In Northern Ireland the criteria are similar to Scotland, but the classifications are: Grade A (2.3%) Grade B+ (4.7%) Grade B (93%) Read more at Wikipedia Link

The B 2028 runs 20 miles from Haywards Heath to Den Cross. It is a long B-road south of London. It forms an unofficial outer bypass of East Grinstead. The B2028 starts on the A272 in the centre of Haywards Heath. It winds past the Railway Station on to Lindfield where it meets the B2112. The B2028 goes north and reaches Ardingly, passes the foot of the High Weald Landscape Trail, and reaches Selsfield Common. It crosses the B2110 in Turners Hill and goes through Crawley Down before crossing the A264 at a roundabout. It enters Surrey shortly afterwards. At Effingham Park it crosses the B2037 on a new roundabout. It now starts to head east rather than north. It crosses the A22 at yet another roundabout in Newchapel a couple of miles later. In Lingfield the B2028 meets the B2029 and passes under the Railway Line on the London - Oxted line. The B2028 passes the edge of Dormansland before continuing for another few miles. It terminates about a mile into Kent at Den Cross on the B2026, to the south of Edenbridge.

The High Weald Landscape Trail (HWLT) is a 90 mile route between Horsham, West Sussex and Rye, East Sussex, designed to pass through the main landscape types of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It does not follow the highest ground, and the eastern section is only a few feet above sea level. It keeps to the northern edge of the High Weald except in the west where it runs close to the southern edge for a short distance. It is a trail of regional importance supported by the High Weald Forum and local authorities in East and West Sussex, and Kent. The route is well signposted. It follows public rights of way and roads with the occasional permissive path. The geology is alternating sandstones and clays, and the latter can be very muddy in wet conditions so boots are a must except in very dry weather. Some sections become very overgrown in summer with nettles and brambles.
