64 aerial images of varying focal length taken from a field known as Orchard Meadow, just off the path from Ifield West to Lambs Green below Upper Bewbush Farm, on 5 January 2026.
I have annotated some of the long lens photos.
Crawley Town Centre. The white area in the bottom left quarter just above the watermark is a frozen and snow covered Ifield Millpond. The tall white building beyond town in the centre is on Worth Corner. On the far right at the same height on the photo is the spire of St Nicholas at Worth. Right of centre is Gossops Green Shops with St Wilfrids being the white building a little way above.
Tulleys Farm Ferris Wheel is top centre. Woldhurstlea Woods (and communications mast) is to the right of centre
Holy Trinity in the centre, with Southgate West above to the left
#Bewbush and Broadfield. The Broadfield Stadium is visible if you know where to look, just below Thomas Bennett in the top left quarter.
Bewbush Green, low centre. Bewbush shops and Broadfield Barton are both on the left of the picture.
In the top left quarter is Tollgate Hill and Woodgate. The Gasson Wood Road and Sullivan Drive areas of Bewbush fill the bottom half. The V shaped gap in the trees to the right is the south western bypass.
