More about this scene

Crowborough Cross, the intersection of four roads, is situated nearly 245 metres above sea level in Crowborough. Nearby is the Red Cross Hotel (now the Crowborough Cross Hotel). This former inn dates from the mid 17th century, and its name probably originates from the small red cross placed on coaching maps to denote Crowborough Cross for illiterate coachmen.

I just got a nice colour postcard showing the Red Cross Hotel. It shows the name of the hotel as"Deverall's Family Commercial Hotel", whereas the Frith photo shows the name "Reed's Family Commercial Hotel". The postcard was sent in 1907 to a Mrs Holder of Newhaven, Sussex. Does the hotel still exist? John Marsh, Peterborough, Canada, June 2012.
