The Square
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 13 Apr 2009
Small village green with a war memorial constructed in 1919. Until the 19th century this area was prone to flooding by a small tributary of the Arun which rose near Patching, travelled down Water Lane, before heading through Angmering at this spot, the green itself becoming a pond in wet weather, then heading out towards Black Ditch before continuing its journey on to the Arun. The stream was culverted and the area then developed and is now the main commercial area of the village.
