Mobile tyre fitting in BN5
Henfield and Small Dole
Henfield sits above the Adur with a high street that was laid out long before anyone thought about modern tyre widths, and the two still do not agree.
Small Dole, Woodmancote, Wineham and Blackstone are the lanes around it. Fulking and Edburton cling to the scarp, where the verge is chalk and a misjudged camber costs a sidewall. There is no bigger place than Henfield here; the rest is lanes and farm gateways.
BN5 on the ground
Town, edge and open road
Henfield is a village in size and manner, so it sits at the edge with the others and the town column stays empty. The open road is the A281 through Henfield, which is where a van actually stops.

Stopped on the A27, the A23 or the A259?
The A27 is to the south, under the Downs. The A23 is to the east, through Pyecombe. The A259 is the coast, out of sight. A job in Fulking is a lane and a job in Henfield is a high street, so tell us which.

- The tyre size from the sidewall, if you can read it.
- Whether the locking wheel nut key is in the car.
