welcome to henfield

Henfield is a large village in West Sussex, almost equidistant between Brighton and Horsham on the A281. These pages contain over 2,000 photographs of the village from the Victorian period to the present day - all with accompanying information. The colour photos, with one or two exceptions, are the product of my own cameras of varying types and makes - from compact to DSLR - over many years. I'm indebted to Alan Barwick, Curator of the Henfield Museum, for many of the black & white photos, and to the late Dr. Annabelle Hughes for material from her extensive archives. Her photos have [AH] added to the captions.

Pinchnose Green

Pinchnose Green is a small triangle of grass at the junction of Church Street, Church Walk and Church Terrace, just to the side of the Cat House. The Coronation Oak was planted in 1902 to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII, and stands on the Green - which takes its name from its original proximity to the foul-smelling tanneries.
