In 1801, while repairs to the spire were in progress, a barber shaved customers on top of it and a china painter decorated a cup.
Then, it was a bustling port with barges moored two or three deep unloading timber and barley.
The hairdresser's (right) with its barber's pole has gone, and so has the Gilbey's Wine sign beyond - that shop is now a modern chemist's.
The lower storey of the Ship Hotel has been opened up to allow greater pedestrian access to the Horsefair, and the Griffin next-door is now a barber's shop.
Villagers grew barley, fruit and vegetables, whilst the village shop supplied everything from treacle to paraffin oil.
Behind the Barley Mow pub in the centre of the picture, the northern and southern branches of the River Wey unite.
The barber's shop with its prominent shaving sign dated back to the 18th century.
Most of the land around Pitsea, Dunton and Langdon Hills had originally been farmland; the crops were mainly barley, oats, wheat, peas, beans, and clover.
In 1865, George Wander, a Swiss chemist, devised a new malted barley nutritional drink called Ovaltine.
In the 14th century there are accounts of crops of oats, wheat, and barley being grown locally, and local livestock included cows and sheep.
