More about this scene

The Black Rabbit Inn, still popular today, was first recorded as the Black Coney in the 1780s. It served riverside traffic - initially boatmen, and later excursionists from Arundel to Littlehampton; they came in large numbers to view Arundel Castle and to enjoy dancing, bowls, croquet and the tea garden at the Black Rabbit, which was laid out in the 1890s.

This is my Grandfather Joseph Smith and my two Great Aunts, Kathleen and Josephine. He was about 12 in this picture. They lived yards from where this was taken in the lodge at Arundel Park gates. My great Grandfather, William, was a groom to the then Duke of Norfolk (Henry) and Great Granmother, Kate, was a domestic. I have spent many happy times in Arundel and continue to visit.
