More about this scene

Fleur-de-Lys, the timber-framed building, is one of Hailsham's most interesting and oldest buildings. Now the town council offices, it dates from around 1540; it has had a number of previous uses, including being the town Poor House (from 1762 to 1854), then a post office, an undertaker's and a wheelwright's. In 1889 the left part was burnt down and replaced by the gable-fronted fire station, which is now a kebab restaurant.

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
