More about this scene

The pond, which is basically circular, is situated at the southern end of the High Street, with the Common beyond. Not seen in this photograph are cottages and houses off to the right that overlook the pond - their gardens front directly onto it. The large house on the left with the shuttered windows stands on a busy road junction, and the sign pointing left indicates the route to Scaynes Hill, Chailey and Lewes.
