Once upon a time, the entrance (where the white cottage is) to Stanmer Park was a 90º left turn off Lewes Road (and bloody dangerous with it). Then when the bypass was built, the entrance (which you can only get to on the eastbound A270) was accessed via a slip road about 100 yards west of the old entrance. At the end of this slip road, you turn left in to the park.
Now...
Instead of turning left into the park, the slip road continues and winds round the back of the Sussex University sport hall (it's this part of the road you can see in Jack Straw's picture) and meet up with the existing roads near the entrance to the university.
So you dont get in to Stanmer park by those white houses anymore you have to go up round the universities?
