Polegate - East Sussex is a small town in the county of East Sussex in England.
One of the fascinating features of this town is the fine old tower mill.
The town of Polegate is situated on an old road that was built by the Romans.
This road starts from Pevensey Castle (Anderida) and terminates in Lewes.
If you take a tour of the northern side, you will find the previous location of the Otham Priory.
Otham Priory is an old site that operated from 1175 to 1200.
After the site closed, its occupants relocated to the Bayham Abbey.
The abbey was used by monks who migrated from Otham Priory.
Located between Bells Yew Green and Lamberhurst, the Bayham Abbey is now in ruins.
Tourists travelling along the Cuckoo Trail can see the ruins.
The Otham Priory was located in a marshy place that made living uncomfortable.
The place was chosen by Ralph de Dene who came from West Dean, Seaford.
As a member of the Premonstratensian Order, Ralph de Dene was a Pevensey Castle sub-tenant.
The Polegate Windmill is an easily recognizable feature.
The mill was constructed and finished in 1817.
The Polegate Mill replaced an old mill that was in use in the South Downs.
Visitors to Polegate can see the tower mill during summer time.
Volunteers have preserved the tower mill and public access is now possible.
A housing estate has sprung up around the tower mill.
The housing estate dates back to the 20th century.
Polegate is connected by railway lines between its stations and Hailsham.
The railway line known as the Cuckoo Line was built in 1849 and further expanded in 1880.
The railway line began as a single track linking Hailsham, but it has grown into a bigger line serving Tunbridge Wells, Eastbourne and Charing Cross.
Railway travel is now a bigger part of Polegate that includes its Hastings Eastbourne Lewes station and Cuckoo sidings.
The Cuckoo trail is the focal point of the Polegate village.
It passes through the countryside of East Sussex to Heathfiled.
The Cuckoo trail is owned and maintained by the county East Sussex.
Polegate has lost most of its olden look and it is characterised by modern settlements which have sprung up among the railway networks.
You will find the modern town of Eastbourne that has merged with the Polegate village.
Vast settlements have grown since the 1850s.
Polegate is serviced by many shopping centres which are located in southern Eastbourne and four miles outside Hailsham.
Scenic locations for the traveller include the Cuckoo trail and the panoramas of South Downs.
