Cuckfield is now by-passed so this bend is not as busy as it once was. In the days of coaching, this village was an important stopping place on the route from London to Brighton.
This was still there, 7 May 2019. It is worth remarking that since the A272 bypassed the village, many years ago, the sign is in error. Not A272 leading to B2036, but B2036 leading to A272. The rest of the old A272 route through the village is now unclassified and B2184.
