Flooded amenity land
A scrap of open space, only accessible from Potters Lane in the distance. Its propensity to flood may be the reason it has been left undeveloped. Frost persists in the shade, and the water is lightly iced over.

Hammonds Place, Burgess Hill
Hammonds Place was built in the 16th century. The original building was damaged by fire and it was subsequently rebuilt & added to. It was never a working farm though. Hammonds Farm was originally owned by Little Hammonds Farm House, which is situated opposite Hammonds Place tucked in just behind the barn you can see on the right. Little Hammonds Farm House (now known as Little Hammonds) dates back to the 1590's (extended in the early 1900's). The working farm was sold to developers Wates in the mid 1960's and subsequently developed in the late 1980's / early 1990's (Hammonds Ridge housing estate, Tesco, etc). In between outbuildings were used by Hammonds Place amongst others. Stabling and a large milking yard originally adjoined the house on the North Westerly corner. The barn in the picture was originally also part of the farm, it was developed into a residential dwelling in the late 1990's.

Course of Roman road 150, Burgess Hill
Margery's road 150 passed through the viewpoint and just to the left of the large white building. In the near field there are signs on aerial photographs, confirmed by a field inspection, of a series of damp lines parallel to the road course. Most of these are presumably post-Roman drainage, but two very close to the road course look rather different. It would require considerable imagination to detect a definite aggar between these parallel depressions.
