When I was a little girl, 1959/1960, my Nan and her husband Mr Fred Pay lived at 2 Newtown Cottages. I can remember the house being tiny, we went in 'round the back' and the kitchen was tiny with a couple of steps up to the living room. From the kitchen a tiny staircase went up to the two bedrooms.

My great-grandad, George Stent, ran the livery stables in Ann Street, shown on the right-hand side of the Town Hall, until the motor car put him out of business.

Sussex Revisited Photographic Memories
Much of the downland around Findon, at the southern end of the same 'wind-gap' in the South Downs, was for centuries an open sheep-walk. It is well known for its sheep fair on Nepcote Green, and for its racehorse training stables - these sustain a flourishing business for one of the few surviving blacksmiths in the area.
