Uckfield is a town in the district of Wealden, in East Sussex, England. It is located on the River Uck, which flows into the River Ouse. The town has a population of 14,000 people (2012 estimate).

Uckfield dates back to the late 13th century, when a bridge was built across the River Ult, and in time, a settlement developed at the bridging point. In the old days, Uckfield was a village that served as a stopover for travelers between Canterbury, Chichester and Lewes.

A chapel was built in Uckfield in 1291. Church Street, one of the oldest streets in town, developed from around here. It today has a large concentration of post-medieval buildings.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
