This view looks south from the Michelham road towards the South Downs in the distance.
The majestic sweep of the fertile fields down to the coast is also marked by the workings and spoils of man's need for the stone that is quarried from the mountain on this stretch of the coast.
The downs can just be glimpsed over the rooftops - in 1875 the East?Kent Lunatic Asylum was built here, and accommodated 900 patients.
This was the second palace on the site: the first, built originally for the 1862 International Exhibition, burnt down just two years after being opened in 1873 as north London's rival to the south's Crystal

The High Street is part of the old London to Brighton route through Henfield, which lies to the east of the River Adur on a belt of Wealden clay behind the South Downs.
The promenade is quite busy, visitors preferring to walk along the seafront rather than settle down on the sand.
The long village High Street running down from the ridge overlooking the Weald and the 13th-century church of St Peter is lined with picturesque tile-hung cottages.
