Following the wagons' trails through Sussex

MANY Rouser readers will be curious about the maze of old tracks around East Sussex villages and countryside.

A new book on the evolution of the road system between Lewes and Eastbourne has now been published by the Eastbourne Local History Society and researched by Peter Longstaff-Tyrrell.

Called Turnpike Territory, it concentrates on the Lewes to Eastbourne turnpikes and in particular the Old Coach Road which still runs between Glynde, Beddingham and Firle to Alciston and Berwick (parallel with the A27) and on to Alfriston.
