More about this scene
Lamberhurst was an ironworking centre between the 16th and the 18th centuries. The local industry used charcoal from the great woodlands around the area, and water power from the River Teise on which the village stands. Parts of the railings surrounding St Paul's Cathedral were made here, and a section of the balustrade still stands outside the village hall.

What sweets were available from Mrs Fuller-Waters shop, the first haircut at the barber's, going up the hill, the golf course with a small stream running at the back of Stair House, and ...see more
