Summary edit
| Description |
English: America Lane Named after a small colony set up by Quaker, William Allen in the 1830s, to enable the Lindfield poor to be self sufficient and not live off the poor rates or emigrate across the Atlantic Ocean, hence the name which Allen originally called The Colony but became known by the 1850s as the American Colony and is marked on the 1870s OS map as just America. Allen died in 1843 and a fair few cottages remained until the 1930s when his descendants had to sell the estate to pay debts. Purchased by a local builder, the old cottages were demolished and the first new houses were constructed in 1937 with the remainder from 1951. Whilst nothing remains of Allen's original estate the road names are a reminder; America Lane, New England Road, Boston Road, Quakers Lane, Pilgrims Court, Mayflower Road and Allen Road |
