2007 : Grove Farm, Southwick
The farmhouse appears to have been converted for residential purposes, there is new housing on either side and the land behind has been taken over by the Southwick Country Park - worth a visit.

Batman's house?
High on the end wall of a house near Fleur de Lys Drive is a rather peculiar object. What might at first glance be a burglar alarm box actually has a bat motif in relief and a pattern on it. Further investigation reveals it is a product made by Schwegler - a firm renowned for producing bird and bat boxes.

Southwick's old school
A fine Gothic style building on the Frome Road was the school. It was a National School, built in 1867 on land donated by the Conservative M.P. Richard Penruddocke Long. It served until 1975, whereupon the pupils were sent to a new school. See
