Pease Pottage ( dt about. Pea soup) is a small village in the district of Mid Sussex in West Sussex , England . It is located south of the city of Crawley in the municipality Slaugham near the junction of the motorway 23 to A 23 .
history
Pease Pottage owes its existence primarily to the brisk movement of goods and people in the region. Archaeological finds indicate that as early as the Bronze Age a trade route led from Horsham towards the Ashdown Forests and touched areas of what is now Pease Pottage. However, Pease Pottage only experienced a significant upswing with the completion of a main traffic route between London and Brighton in 1770. The significantly increased traffic flow through the region led to a population increase in Pease Pottage and the revival of the local economy. However, due to the expansion of further traffic routes, including the rail link London - Brighton, the development of the place stagnated a short time later. Only with the opening of Motorway 3 in 1975 and the establishment of a tank and rest area did the place develop further.
