Taken From The Spot I Grew Up:
It took me a while to recognise the angle of this photo as from almost exactly the position my parents house was built on! Where the road ahead divides, another road to the left was later added, leading to my father's fruit farm which I grew up working on.
The view in the photo is unhindered by the present housing developments of St Mary's Close and St Mary's Lane, as well as this year's (2007) new development on the old council yard. The piece of land in front of the camera is where Marlpit Gardens now stands.

Hi Ann
Do you mean where this oast house is?

The photo above was taken in the middle of Ticehurst, near the recreation ground, but I think the place you're thinking of is between the crossroad at Flimwell and Hurst Green along the A21. I'm afraid I don't know it...

Was this anywhere near Mountpumbs Farm, Hurst Green, Ticehurst where my parents farmed in the late 1940s and early 1950s? I would love to find out more about this time. Ann Brunger
