North Horsham development and wider views
80 aerial photos from Bush Lane
2 February 2025
80 aerial images of varying focal length taken on 2 February 2025 from Bush Lane on the Rusper/North Horsham parish boundary looking at the areas being developed as part of the 'North Horsham' development, including Bohunt School, as well as wider views across Horsham, Crawley, Gatwick and the surrounding countryside. Most of the pictures are taken from south of Bohunt school, but there are a handful taken from the midway point of Bush Lane close to Owlscastle Farm.
Some of the photos have been annotated.
The first 14 photos are from the mid-point of Bush Lane near Owlscastle Farm and do not constitute the usual full panorama due to poor light. (A full panorama is included in the photos from the second location, from 400 yards west)
Holbrook Park in sunlight just below centre
Hurst Hill in shade whilst Leith Hill basks in the sunshine. When viewed at full size, Leith Hill tower is visible just to the left of centre.

Littlehaven area. The Novartis/Ciba Geigy building is just visible on the far left about 30% from the top of the image and the Holbrook Club field and sports hall is visible far right of centre.
Holbrook Club sports hall is now far left of centre, and (the new) St Marks Spire in North Heath Lane is clear, though the light makes it look wonky!
