Sid's house still standing
He was as one villager put it "the very last of the South Harting characters". An old style blacksmith, he died two years ago. His forge has gone and presumably the house will in time be demolished and the plot on the Elsted Road sold.

Where once stood one, now stand 12
A real Harting character, Sid Smith's forge was here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1319367 but after his death planning permission was given for 12 dwellings. Number One is Forge Cottage, and the whole development named Smithfield!

South Harting: clunch and rat-trap bond
I stopped to look at these buildings because of the exposed chalk (clunch) walling. Looking more closely, I noticed that the house nearest the camera is built of bricks laid on edge - penny-pinching 'rat-trap bond'. It puzzles me that after scrimping on bricks, the builder tried to make up for it by fitting quite a grand door-case (as Pevsner would call it). Ostentation at the price of neglecting the basics. There's a tabloid phrase for that sort of thing - and it has to do with fur coats.

South Harting: rat-trap bond
The three-bay house with the fancy door-case was built using the notorious 'rat-trap bond' - lay bricks on their edges, and you don't need so many of them. Despite skimping on materials, the brick-layer has attempted something like classic Flemish bond - a neat pattern, with red stretchers and blue headers alternating throughout.
Edging into the left-hand margin of the picture is a cottage built largely of 'clunch' - substantial blocks of chalk. The building is either recent or much renewed - either way, it's good to see that traditional local materials were used. There is more clunch to be seen in a free-standing wall, just beyond the open parking bay. And a photo taken from the opposite direction reveals yet more . . . http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4616833
