Crawley
I cycled around Crawley with my camera last weekend. It is a large commercial and industrial centre that services London Gatwick airport. It is a new town and a lot of it concrete and tarmac but there are a few historic parts. People are familiar with the old buildings in the high street whch can be seen on Google Streetview but here are a few other photos.
The windmill at Lowfield Heath, well preserved considering that it was built in 1737.
The pedestrian footbridge going diagonally across the millpond at Ifield Mill.
Brent Geese on the millpond.
The mill seen from the side of the millpond. It is a 19th century construction replacing a 16th century mill on the same site which in turn replaced a forge that had worked at teh site since the 13th century.
The overflow.
The front of Ifield Mill.
The mill wheel on one side of the mill which drove the machinery.
The ground floor of the mill.
One of many older buildings in and around Crawley.
