James Gray: Both photographs look east along the High Street. This photograph, probably dates from the late 1870s, because there is no sign of the Brewery, built in 1882. Note how extremely narrow the roadway was opposite the Grange. jgc_38_030
2018: The view is now dominated by the old brewery, standing to the left of this picture. The street has been considerably widened here but the rest of the High Street remains narrow.
James Gray: This photograph was copied from a postcard, postmarked 1908, and shows the Brewery building (left). Note also the side window let into the Grange. jgc_38_031
2018: The Grange is long since gone but the church and brewery building remain. (Photographer: Jeremy Knight)
James Gray: Looking down the hill, through the old iron bridge that linked the gardens of Portslade House, later used for many years as Windlesham House School. jgc_38_034
2018: The Bridge and The Grange have gone but otherwise very little has changed to the view over nearly 100 years (Photographer: Jeremy Knight)
James Gray: This photograph and the next [jgc_38_036], were taken about 1908, and look up the High Street. They feature the Stag’s Head Inn then a Dudney’s house, the George Inn, and the Grange, which was removed about 1931/2. jgc_38_035
2018: The George Inn was modernised in the 1930s but the Stag’s Head remains very much unchanged. The High Street going up the hill has been widened. (Photographer: Jeremy Knight)
James Gray: This photograph and the previous [jgc_38_035 above] were taken about 1908, and look up the High Street. They feature the Stag’s Head Inn then a Dudney’s house, the George Inn and the Grange, which was removed about 1931-2. jgc_38_036
2020: Looking west up High Street, the Stag’s Head is unchanged but the George Inn has been rebuilt. The Grange is no longer there but west of it Windlesham Close has been developed. (Photographer: Kevin Wilsher)
James Gray: The small photograph above looks down the High Street, under the bridge seen on the previous page [jgc_38_034] but at a much later period, probably just before or soon after the 1939-1945 War. jgc_38_037
2020: The bridge has gone but the scene is still much the same as during the War. (Photographer: Jeremy Knight)
