West Sussex memories
This picture is much the same as the previous one. The horse and carriage should be on the left side...but who cares, there's nothing coming up the right side.
The Grammar School's tall oaks can be seen in the distant centre.

This old picture shows very few cars and people. It also shows the old Cinema and clock tower on the left. This was sadly demolished to make way for a ghastly supermaket, which is ugly and in disrepair at this time Jan 2007.

My family lived in Graffham, going right back to the 1500s, and I still have a wonderful feeling when I visit the village. My aunt... [more]

Villages of Sussex Photographic Memories
This is the same street as in view 54380 but we are looking in the opposite direction. There are cart tracks in the loose, unsealed road surface. Children wait at the roadside, perhaps for transport to school. There are no vehicles in sight; it was a quiet village.

Villages of Sussex Pocket Album
Loxwood is on the route of the partly-restored Wey and Arun canal near the Surrey border—'London's lost route to the sea'.The shop on the left has old enamelled metal cigarette advertising signs fixed to the wall. There is a larger shop across road. A woman waits patiently against the fence by the pond; she has just come from the swimming pool area.
