The goalposts are just about visible next to the blanket of snow that appeared overnight. Much of the land here once belonged to Varndean Farm and was purchased by the old borough education committee. The area now hosts five schools; Balfour Infants, Balfour Juniors, Dorothy Stringer High School, Varndean Secondary School and Varndean College. The latter two were originally built in the 1930s and were a separate boys and girls school until a reorganisation of education facilities in 1975. The houses beyond the fields belong to Friar Road and Friar Crescent.
