This delightful photograph that is pre-1915 is of the twitten alleyway and gate at the junction of Southdown Road and Mill Lane. The field behind is Oxen Field – often used for town events and sports. The twitten was the route north to Little Buckingham, with a high flint wall on the boundary with the vicarage in Shoreham Court to the east.
By the late 1920’s the field behind the kissing Tree was ready for redevelopment into Oxen Avenue. This view below is from the house to the left of the alleyway looking towards Upper Shoreham Road.
