More about this scene
A small village at the western edge of St Leonards Forest, on the main road and railway line between Horsham and Crawley. Local legends say that dragons and serpents inhabited the forest. Charcoal-making was a forest industry until the 1960s, and was carried out on sites within the forest. There were two brick works in the village. A road of brick cottages is seen next to the Wesleyan church. The scene has now altered: the left-hand side of the road has been developed with houses and bungalows, and the church is now converted to a house.
