More about this scene

A Roman settlement on Stane Street and the navigable River Arun. The village encompasses riverside and hillside, and has a main line railway station. The 15th-century church is on the hillside. Old Place is a 15th- century manor house that was the home of the Apsley family. New Place is a stone farmhouse by the railway. The photograph shows the view from the side of Stane Street, which is now very busy. The scene now is little changed, although the almshouses have been converted into one house.

I was born in Canada, but grew up in Pulborough as did my mother and uncle, Maureen and Frank Darby. When I knew we were returning to Canada, a place I didn't remember, it broke my heart, and I vowed never to forget the people and sights of Pulborough. My Grandparents are buried in the cemetery at St Mary's, and I have a brass rubbing from the church. The baptismal jug was donated by the family. I was home last October for my ...see more
