The estate at Crabbet Park changed forever with a wood merchant buying and taking down all the commercially viable trees. The land changed hands many times, before the intervention of the M23 motorway. A Racing Yard was run from the Coronation Stables and the threshing barn was renovated into a dwelling house.
After this it was a nationally acclaimed riding school, it changed hands again and is still to this day a riding school. Then Cecil Covey decided to give up his Arab Horses altogether, so new homes were built for my parents and their neighbours further along the Turners Hill Road.
Frogshole Farm was also wanted by the Crawley Town planners, so that was also sold and became Maidenbower a new neighbourhood of Crawley. And more memories from Stella Berrisford.
