Buildings at the Long Man Brewery

The brewery has expanded its operation to this east side of the lane more recently. In addition to these buildings there is a shop and a cafe nearby. This is a cross-grid shot. The camera was in TQ5202.

I assume these have something to do with the brewery. They were nearby anyway.

Comp Lane

Comp Lane at the turning for the footpath across the fields to Berwick village. Comp Lane formerly was the main road between Lewes and Alfriston, later eclipsed by the turnpike (now the A27). In the distance can be seen Comp Barn.

The jet-black background looks odd, but it is simply an area of dark shadow on another branch behind the lichen. The photograph was taken in full sunlight.

A popular spot for paragliding, with at least a dozen in the air when this photo was taken.

View south over fields east of Litlington

The camera was on the bridleway, about 80 m north of the grid boundary. The photo probably doesn't include anything within 80 m of the camera, so I have made this a cross-grid shot, with the hedge in the middle distance as the subject.

View along the path between the Cuckmere River and Litlington

This path is the South Downs Way. At this point it is a narrow alleyway (or "twitten") between gardens.

You can see the Litlington White Horse on the hillside on the other side of the valley.

"Charleston Bottom" is the name given to the upper part of this valley - behind the camera.

Henbane - Hyoscyamus niger

This is only the second time I've seen this plant. The first was on Lullington Heath - a couple of miles from here. According to the Sussex Plant Atlas, it is occasionally found on the chalk - on disturbed ground not far from the sea. That would tie in with both my sightings. Henbane is in the nightshade family, and is poisonous in large quantities.
