Would that large stone pillar with the carved crest near the top at the road side help narrow down the actual location? Might be some form of marker which, judging by the weathering, had been there for a while.

David,
The pillar is what is known as the Patcham Pylon on the A23 London to Brighton road, just north of Brighton.
See here for details:

Thanks for that reference, Richard.

In the current photo on the Wiki site, the pylon in the old photo is clearly the one on the right side. Interesting ‘Then and Now’ with regards to how the trees in the background have all matured.

Cheers,

David
