Remains
There is still much to be seen of the line between Haywards Heath and Uckfield. Skew Bridge across the B2036 between Haywards Heath and Balcombe (TQ 325 273) has extended abutments where the railway would have passed over the road. Each side of the road at Borde Hill (TQ 325 273) embankments survive. A cutting leads to what would have been a tunnel at Kenwards Farm (TQ 325 273). In Lindfield an embankment at TQ 348 264 survives. Lindfield station would have been at TQ 351 261 with recently found remains of a brick-making kiln in what would have been the station yard. South of Uckfield, an embankment and the only completed bridge (TQ 456 205), reported destroyed during the construction of the Uckfield Bypass in the 1990s, is still in position although in decrepit state, visited but not photographed September 2009. In April 2009, about a mile south-west of Uckfield there were two sections of embankments and cuttings, at (TQ 456 205 - TQ 452 207) and (TQ 451 208 - TQ 447 209). The remains of one bridge abutment were visible adjacent to a footpath at TQ 456 205.

Famous quotes containing the word remains:
“It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among those who support equality, men’s involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved towards a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema.”
—Katherine Gerson (20th century)
“Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOATSWAIN, a Dog.”
—John Cam Hobhouse (1786–1869)
“The trees, though not fully clothed, were in that delightful state, when further beauty is known to be at hand, and when, while much is actually given to the sight, more yet remains for the imagination.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
