More about this scene

On the south side of Western Road is the Recreation Ground; it was enclosed in 1885, having formerly been part of Hailsham common. In this view the road is off to the right out of shot. The verandahed building is the pavilion, which opened in 1909 and cost £300 to build. It has since been refurbished with a coated metal roof resembling pantiles.

Fond memories of my time spent with my friends at Oakland's riding school in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Does anyone have any photos of it at that time? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nikki x
