Midhurst is a 'crossroads' for the 'east-west' A272 running from East Sussex to Hampshire and the 'north-south' A286 bringing traffic from Guildford and London down to Chichester and the coast. Both these roads merge into one on North Street before splitting back into their respective routes. There are over 100 listed buildings in Midhurst with many in the older areas around Red Lion street, West street and Duck Lane, which later expanded towards North street, built on 15th and 16th century wooden frames. The Angel hotel on North Street was the main posting inn for mail coaches arriving in the town. Here the seaward bound pilgrim fathers stopped in Midhurst, prior to their epic journey.
Opposite the Grammar, along a causeway, is the Cowdray ruins. Built around 1520 and destroyed by fire in 1793. This area recently underwent large scale restoration. Midhurst hosts the "Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup" - a major polo competition. This is held on the Cowdray estate, with Prince Charles and other members of the Royal Family often seen playing.
Midhurst and Petworth Observer has moved - Dec.2008 The newspapers offices have now been moved from Lamberts Lane to new premises in Capron House, North Street.
