74 aerial photos of the land between Kilnwood Lane and the Arun Valley railway line which will soon be consumed by the Kilnwood Vale development. The photos were taken on 30 May 2026 and some of them are annotated. This wasn't the best day for photos as it was quite hazy and the sun was in and out, so a further set will hopefully follow in the coming weeks.
Please note that this is private land and I was there with permission.

The clump marks an old quarry on the Weald Clay (Mudstone) formation.
This was probably a source of brick clay, though the destination of the
bricks is unknown. The pit was there by 1840 (it is known as 'Pit Field'
on the tithe map), but no further dating information is available.

The site of Bewbush Furnace (later Mill) Pond, now hugely built up
leaving Bewbush Brook well below the ground surface. This image also
shows the banking for the approach roads to the proposed bridges over
the railway which will provide access to the northern areas of the
development. The approach to the western bridge is just below centre and
the eastern approach is in the top left quarter (and perhaps a little
clearer)
