Photo of Flimwell, The Village 1903

More about this scene

A couple of miles north-east of Ticehurst, Flimwell is a small village bisected by the London to Hastings road, now the A21, which crosses the foreground of this view. Indeed, the left-hand weatherboarded cottage was demolished for junction improvements. Here the photographer looks west along High Street; the picket fence on the right has been replaced by conifer hedging. Most cottages survive, except for the weatherboarded ones on the right in the middle distance. Francis Frith's Sussex A Century Ago

My Parents used to run one of the shops in the village ( Mr and Mrs Wenham). It was Pankhurst Stores before - I understand it is now two houses. I havent been to Flimwell for a very long time I expect things have changed alot.
Hello, I am looking for anyone who may have known Robert Pickering who listed his address as Mountpumps just before leaving to New Zealand. I believe he farmed in the area. Thank you Taima
I would love to hear from anyone who remembers my parents Les and Sheila Pickering who farmed Mountpumps Farm in Flimwell from about 1944 to 1951. Mrs Everett owned the farm and rented it to my parents. I know they were there during the later part of the Second World War because my father told me he had prisoners of war working on the land. It would be so interesting to talk to anyone who remembers them. ...see more
