Turning round and looking north east the bridge at Culver Junction can be seen in the distance.

A historic picture taken by J J Smith in 1951 shows a low hedge and houses on the right, but today there is just a huge hedge with a field behind it. The houses have been demolished without trace.

Turning round and looking south west the track bed disappears towards Hamsey and Lewes.

The approach to Culver Junction looking north east, with a much photographed bridge. Despite the solid construction it only carries a private farm track.

Passing through the bridge and looking back south west the site of the old Culver Junction signal box is on the left adjacent to the bridge. The remains of a signalbox outbuilding can just be seen, covered in weeds, in front of the bridge. This whole area is private property (photographed with permission).

A closer view of the site of the signalbox, also demolished without trace. It is not clear why the signalman's convenience was left standing, but looking at the undergrowth it appears in need of some refurbishment!

Standing up on the bridge, this view looks south west along the trackbed.

This view, also taken from the bridge, looks north east. Caravans for farm staff now stand where the single line to Sheffield Park would have branched left.

Standing at ground level at Culver Junction, the line to Sheffield Park curves away north west, following the curved line of trees in the distance.

Moving the camera slightly to the right, the line to Barcombe Mills and Uckfield ran straight ahead along the track between the trees (to the north east).

Even when a line has been erased from the landscape for over 50 years small things can betray the route. Here the crop in the field sits lower where the line from Sheffield Park curved in to join the main line. The original field boundary can be seen clearly.

The well-maintained flat trackbed of the Sheffield Park line curved away between these trees, heading first for Barcombe. Power lines follow the route for much of the way and make their first appearance here, but, at this point, they do not follow the route of the old line.
