More about this scene
Three Bridges derives its name from its bridges over the River Mole. Before the arrival of the railway in 1841 it was a small settlement, but it grew around a station and busy junction on the London to Brighton line. By 1841 the Fox Railway Inn (on the right) had been opened by the railway company. It was demolished in 1989.

I would love to see pictures of the old school , if it is still there ! I remember a pathway near the school that led right into the main area of Crawley ! I would really like to hear from people that maybe went to that school in the early fifties !
I can remember walking to a garage down (or up) the street with an accumulator, to get it filled. I knew a girl who lived just passed the garage, and she had a collection of birds eggs. She kept them in the oven of an old unused kitchen cooker which was on the porch. I don't remember her name, but I do remember her collection of eggs. Her dad helped her with the collection, and she even had an ostrich egg. She lived ...see more
