Dist:0.5km north<br/>The Laughing Fish is in the quiet village of Isfield, not far from Uckfield or Lewes, in East Sussex. It is a Greene King tenancy run since February 2001 by tenants Andy & Linda Brooks The pub is reputed to have started life as a chapel when it was built in the 1860s. However, it is possible that this view has been influenced by the unusual shape of the entrance doors at the front. It was certainly never consecrated, and was soon a hostelry serving the newly built railway. At first, it was called the Half Moon Pub Website: http://www.laughingfishonline.co.uk/

Dist:0.5km north<br/>Home to the Lavender Line, about a mile and a half of preserved railway along the old Lewes to Uckfield Line. The line was closed in 1969 due to persistent flooding (something the preserved line had to contend with in 2000) and was cleared by a private owner in the 1980s. However, they were unable to continue so sold it to the preservation society that now runs the line. The name came from the coal merchants, A.E.Lavender and Son who had an office at the station. The structure is still there today. See http://www.lavender-line.co.uk/ for more information. Taken from the gates of the old level crossing.
