More about this scene

This pond with its island is a most attractive feature in the outer part of the town. While it is somewhat municipalised nowadays, it is very ancient. The earliest reference to it is a sad one in 1263, in the Sussex Assize Roll for that year. It is reported to the coroner that one Gilbert, son of Gilbert Godseb, drowned in the pond while bathing. The walled enclosure on the far bank is inscribed 'This Sheltered Corner was Endowed by Harold and Winifred Morgan in Memory of their Father, James Henry Morgan'.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

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
