Faygate Playing Fields
6 August 2024
56 aerial photographs of varying focal lengths
|
The evening of 6 August 2024 was a pleasant one, so my daughter and I jumped on our bikes and did the 5 mile round trip to the playground at Faygate, pausing for 15 minutes on the playing field to take these 56 aerial photographs using varying focal lengths. I've added brief annotations to some of the photos to help with your bearings.
Holmbush. The A265 is just behind the hedge at the foot of the picture. Note the lodge to Holmbush just above the hedge.

The house with the tower in the centre of the pic is just east of the vets on Tower Road.
Faygate
Looking towards Horsham. The diagonal line of trees from the bottom left marks the railway line. In the top left corner is the Moorhead Roundabout on the A264 and the level crossing on Wimlands Road can be seen just to the right of the A264, between trees. The white house and derelict barn in the top right quarter are on Wimlands Road between the crossing and the Frog & Nightgown pub. Above and to the right of these is the footbridge at Rusper Road roundabout. The spire a little above the white house is St Marks in North Heath Lane.
In the top left corner is Bohunt schol and in the top right the slope of Hurst Hill. Durrants Village, Faygate, is in the foreground.
The bulidng in the centre, about 20% from the top above the two fields, is Wimlands Farm on Wimlands Lane. To the left are the cottages just south of the junction with Wimlands Road on the bend before the hill.
The big house top left is Culross Manor on Wimlands Lane. The road across the picture from bottom left is Faygate Lane.

Wimlands Road crosses the centre. The latest works on the A264 east of Rusper Road roundabout are marked by the red and white barriers above the white house and the roundabout and bridge are on the far right. The spire of St Marks church in North Heath Lane is just above the barriers.
Bohunt school is the standout feature and above and to the left is Warnham Court.
The slopes of Hurst Hill to the right. Warnham Church is just visible in the haze if you know where to look in the top left quarter, but will be much clearer from a morning flight! In the foreground is Budds Farm in Wimlands Road.
