More about this scene

The rendered façade of the Bell Inn, a 14th-century coaching inn, has now been removed, exposing a fine timber-framed building with a conserved interior. The Duke of York Inn is on the left-hand side of the square, and the church is nearby. Whiligh is a 16th-century house; timbers for Westminster Hall in London were cut from trees felled on the estate in the late 14th century. Dunster's Mill House was a 15th-century semi-aisled hall house with an associated watermill; it has now been moved because the old site is inundated by the new Bewl Water reservoir.

My parents owned Singehurst Farm. I lived there with my 7 brothers and my sister in 1962 /1967. I worked at the local hairdressers for a short while. We had lots of fun growing up on the farm, sadly my mum and dad passed away and my sister too. I live in Dorset now.
We were twin sisters, Audrey and Yvonne Long. We were evacuated to Burwash, I only have a photo of us sitting in a field somewhere with more young children of our age, and some younger. I have no memories of the area, or where we stayed or who looked after us. I only have a post card from Burwash Common and a small black/white photographs of us and with the other children, sitting in a line, with a ...see more
I lived on Wedds Farm from around 1948 to 1963. My father, George Couzens, a wartime Battle of Britain fighter pilot, was manager of the farm which was owned by Mr A. Howeson. They had met in the RAF during the war. I believe that the photograph would have been taken c1960. The farm certainly had had a milking herd which made way for pig rearing, and the cowshed became one of a number of buildings used for ...see more
I'm sure I have seen this picture before, and think it is Walters Farm - it certainly looks like the Walters Farm Oast in the background. Walters Farm is 500 yards from the Bull at Three Leg Cross going down Tinkers Lane. It is no longer a farm, but it did last until the 1980s. Of particular interest is the wire work, quite modern for then as many farms still used chestnut poles for individual hop hills. I remember individual poles being used at Foxholes in the 1970s.
