Etymology
Harley Road (6″) may mark the site of the place called Harelegh in 1483 (Add ). The road now divides the parishes of Hastings and Hollington, but this is a modern boundary, so the meaning of the first element must remain uncertain. It may be 'hare- clearing,' v. hara , leah . This steep road was until recently known as Harley Shute (J.E.R.).
