Whiteparish: red brick and flint At the time of taking the photograph I assumed that the building with flintwork panels was some sort of converted mill or maltings.  Examining the image on screen later, I have to say that the brickwork and roofing look so neat that I can only conclude that they are 'new build'.  Good, anyway, that local traditions have been respected.

The view is south-west along the main village street - which also happens to be the A27.

Near the end of the A27 At the lights the road joins the A36. This is the western end of the A27, the eastern end is at Pevensey, East Sussex. In between the road takes a great many forms, sometimes adequate for the traffic and quite often inadequate. This end seems the least busy.
