One of those instances...

[edit]

...where a reliable source has an inaccuracy. Gyles Brandreth (ref [4]) has got his map-reading slightly wrong: The Laines is about a mile and a half south of the racecourse, at the other end of Plumpton Lane. No criticism of the reliability of the source or of the article, just an observation from a local (and not actionable, because I don't have any reliable source to counter it)!

Thank you, Hassocks5489. You are quite right (of course). If we look at the Historic England entry for The Laines, it handily shows the perimeter of the property, and there is no sign of any racecourse. I will remove that sentence. Edwardx (talk) 11:21, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
