 Other local amenities include The Mile Oak Inn public house, the Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd and Mile Oak Farm.The location of the oak tree to which the name "Mile Oak" refers is not known for certain, but researchers have suggested two sites.In 1935, a contributor to the "Sussex County Magazine" described "an old oak that stood on the roadway until about 30 years ago, when it gradually rotted away ... it was on the west side of the road, about a mile [north of] the old George Inn on [Portslade] High Street".
