More about this scene
By 1870 the 'New Town' not only covered the small parish of Crawley, but also parts of its neighbours, Ifield and Worth. The Swan Inn, built in 1874, was one of the many new Victorian properties built on the western side of the High Street. At the date of this photograph, the street appears to have been devoid of any vehicles other than a solitary horse and cart.
