West Sussex memories
As a child I went to the ABC minors every Saturday morning, it cost six old pence to get in. I think the last film that was shown at the cinema was in 1971, it was called Shaft and starred Richard Roundtree. I was one of the few there.

After buying the farmhouse of Townlands Farm in 1875, Charles Kempe promptly began to enlarge the property in a style in keeping with the existing small house. The property was renamed Old Place, with the original building called West Wing.

Haywards Heath Living Memories

Her next enterprise was to convert the adjacent Elizabethan barn into a tearoom, which gave adults the chance to keep an eye on the children whilst also catching up with the latest news.
