I fondly remember the fox hunt going through the village each year and Guy Fawks day! We lived next door to the pub in a house called Jenners, Dr. Tate lived next door at... [more]

Growing up in Slaugham 1961

The bell

Several of the local lads and I took the bell from the chapel on the bridge and for a laugh we hung it over the bridge. When large trucks passed underneath, it rang so loud it could be heard all over the village!

Nuthurst

I lived and was bought up at Cooks Cottages Nuthurst, from 1941 until about 1950. I went to school at Nuthurst village school. I also went to Nuthurst church with my friend from next door, Jennifer, also her mum. My friend and myself started school together. At home we had no electric, no gas, so we had to use candles, and... [more]

The Drawing Office

The British Red Cross

I think this was in the 1960s, whilst I was working for the Flight Simulator Firm in Crawley, REDIFON LTD, part of Redifusion Ltd.
I became part of the team puttting on a charity show at this theatre for the Red Cross. It was called "MIDNIGHT MATINEE".It was a great event with Petula Clark, Arthur Haynes and many others. In the... [more]

Another is the Sergison Arms/Dolphin pub that was mentioned in 1599, as well as... [more]

Haywards Heath - A History & Celebration

The aftermath of the recession left businesses striving to become more efficient. It was not just the service industries and manufacturing industries that had to transform themselves, but the local agricultural scene also needed to change. The main casualty in Haywards Heath was the closure of the livestock market, which had at one point in its existence been the twelfth largest livestock market in the country. Times certainly had changed.... [more]
