Then, it was a bustling port with barges moored two or three deep unloading timber and barley.

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.
