The station at Three Bridges is on the London-Brighton line but this is also where trains heading off to Crawley or Horsham or the coast normally pass through. But I can see only one Bridge - where are the other two?

At the centre of the local community, this local parade of shops provides access to most everyday needs for the residents of this Crawley neighbourhood. The style of the parade is slightly more modern than that of Tilgate (TQ2735) - late 1950s?

The disused railway between Crawley and East Grinstead was converted into a hard surfaced route for non-motorised traffic. Here we see the route heading towards E. Grinstead, just before passing under the Balcombe Road. The tunnel is not an original from the days when steam trains used to ply this route.

The Manor Royal industrial estate is centred on TQ2738, but also spreads over about a third of this grid square. A feature here is the bridge over the main road linking two buildings belonging to the same organisation.

Milton Mount Lake, Pound Hill, Crawley, West Sussex

Milton Mount Lake was once in the grounds of the Worth Park country estate. The estate was absorbed into the residential neighbourhood of Pound Hill and built upon. In the background, it is just possible to see an aircraft that has just taken off from Gatwick airport. The E end of the runway is 2km north of here. Aircraft taking off would not normally be seen from here, as they usually take off into the West (against the prevailing wind). The wind on this day was from the east.
