Blackdown Mill

The original mill burnt down in 1859 and was replaced by another moved wholesale from Biddenden in Kent. Consequently, this mill is sometimes known by its original name, Cherry Clack Mill. The sweeps fell into disrepair and were removed sometime in the 1930s though the mill continued to grind using a combustion engine instead, it was after the war that the original family decided on restoration. Taken from the footpath that heads up the slope from Greenwoods Lane towards the mill.

Forest Lane

The lane heads to Dallington Forest from Punnett's Town passing a number of farms and Rushlake Green Motors. The surfacing runs up to Little Poundfield Farm though it is now officially a bridlepath as mentioned on the back of the van which judging by the cobwebs hasn't been driven for a while.

Independent Chapel, Cade Street

The chapel is on the B2096 is dated 1809 but was probably built earlier. It has a bulls-eye window and a sun-dial above the porch. The obelisk behind the church board commemorates the Sussex Martyrs burnt at the stake in Lewes during the reign of Bloody Mary.
