Loppets Road, Tilgate

62 aerial photographs of varying focal lengths

 

62 aerial photographs taken from Loppets Road playing fields in Tilgate on 3 January 2025 including full 360 degree panoramas from each of a 24mm, 70mm and 170mm lens. I've added brief annotations to some of the photos to help with your bearings and highlight points of interest.

Also in the top right quarter, towards the centre, the very eagle eyed will spot the top floor of The Beehive.

Worth way can be seen bending away from the mainline from the far left (centre) up into the top right quarter, marked by a line of trees.

Just below the convent is the roof of The Church of Edward the Confessor in Hillcrest Close. Bottom right is the Norwich Road area of Furnace Green.
