Dist:0.1km<br/>The point where The Drove crosses the Lewes-Wivelsfield line. The former crossing keeper's cottage still has its identification number (19) painted on the side. Offham Hill is in the background.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This picture was taken standing on the Greenwich meridian looking South. The left half of the image is in the Eastern Hemisphere and the right is in the Western. The meridian passes straight through the middle, see this http://www.riddlerworld.co.uk/meridian/PG1251.htm for an alternate image with the meridian superimposed as a yellow line. The Meridian crosses the drove. The level crossing sign marks the exact spot.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking down to the junction with The Drove. The lane appears to have been built after the Hamsey Cut of the Ouse Navigation was constructed. The line of trees in the distance mark the course of the Lewes-Wivelsfield railway.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The trees appear to be along part of the far long edge of a long gone narrow field, the trough possibly being on the near edge.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Taken from Ivors Lane with Offham Hill providing the backdrop. The original Lewes-Uckfield line ran along the line of trees to the right joining the Lewes-Wivelsfield branch to the west of the bridge in the distance on the left. This section opened in 1858 and was replaced by another ten years later. That line closed in 1969 though there have been periodic attempts to reopen it and should that happen this section will be reused again.

The Meridian crosses the large field of rape west of Hamsey Manor. The trees at the bottom mark the Drove.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Taken from the junction with Ivors Lane. The name probably derives the route taken by livestock from the surrounding farms up to Offham and the pastures on the Downs.
