COUNTRY VIEWS 2 - NOTES
Bluebells near Holders: A muddy track leads down from the house called Holders, which lies three-quarters of the way down Furners Lane, towards Henfield Common and Swains Farm. The track passes through some woodland which, in Spring, is a riot of bluebells.
Rainbow from Benson Road: It had been a hot, humid day with a huge thunderstorm about 7pm. This double rainbow was the result - too good not to photograph!
Railway bridge: The old railway line - now the Downs Link - runs across the footpath in this photo from the 1990s. The crossing is close to Backhouse Farm.
Railway line: Now called the Downs Link, the railway ran from Horsham to Shoreham, with a station at Henfield. Axed under Beeching in 1966, the track has become a well-used footpath for cyclists and walkers, and the station was built over by homes in a cul-de-sac called... Beechings.
Rothery Field view: The Rothery Field lies south of Nep Town Road and is one of two playing fields in the village - the other being the King's Field. These are in addition to the football and cricket pitches on the common. A peek over the southern edge of the field gives you the view in this photo.
Sunset: A Henfield sunset, taken in Benson Road and looking over the fields bordering Furners Lane.
