West Sussex

West Sussex is a county in the south of England, bordering onto East Sussex (with Brighton and Hove), Hampshire and Surrey. The county of Sussex was divided into eastern and western administrative regions, with separate county councils in 1888 but it remained a single county until 1974 when the new counties of East Sussex and West Sussex were created and the Mid Sussex region (including Haywards Heath and East Grinstead) was transferred from East Sussex.
