High Street in Polegate, East Sussex, taken from the railway crossing

This image is a vintage postcard showing High Street in Polegate, East Sussex, taken from the railway crossing, likely in the mid-1950s.

The photo captures a moment before the widespread use of motor cars, shown by the lack of road markings and minimal traffic. 

The quaint cottages on the right were later demolished in the early 1960s. 

The image, labeled D12, is a historical record of the changing face of the area.
