TQ0728 : Okehurst Lane
near to Newpound Common, West Sussex, Great Britain

Okehurst Lane
Frogs Hole Cottage is to the left whilst the car further down the lane marks the location of Pound Cottage whilst Spurland is on the right hand side. Frogs Hole derives its name from foxhole and has probably been misheard by some scribe back in history. The width between the hedges is either down to this lane being a former cattle droving route or a boggy thoroughfare where the human inclination is to walk round the worst areas of mud traversed by people and livestock, the Weald had a notorious reputation for being impassable during the winter or any other wet seasons. The cottages themselves particularly the two on the left were probably built on the site where the original shacks or hovels were constructed between the two field boundaries on either side of the thoroughfare well before the days of needing planning permission.
