Description
Fiveways forms the junction of ancient downland routes, which historically ran through open farmland. The surrounding land was developed into residential suburbs in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The public house – originally named the Stanmer Park Hotel – was developed in conjunction. It is shown in street directories from at least 1901, when George Hammond was landlord. Two storey with pitched clay tile roofs with overhanging eaves. Blue-brown brick plinth with red brick and render above. Located on the junction of Fiveways, and the corner of Ditchling Road and Hollingbury Road, it has two main elevations. Gable to the corner itself, with a further gable to each elevation. Round-arched openings to the ground floor with paired sashes to the first floor. Mock timber framing to the gables
