The Roman Stane Street goes right through the parish and main thoroughfare of the village is simply called “The Street�. Slinfold was an extremely industrious place and the remains of the iron industry is still in evidence in the locality of Roman Woods. There were other traditional industries such as basket-making, brickworks, a tanyard and a timber yard. One of Slindon’s most important local industries was the quarrying of Horsham Stone. The quarries are now exhausted but at one time enormous pieces of Horsham Stone were provided to build pavements all over Sussex and elsewhere, also for roofing.
