Herstmonceux Place in the 19th century. It is now divided into flats.
The north front of the house (not visible in this photo) was built in the late 17th century. The south and east fronts (seen here) were designed by Samuel Wyatt in 1778. The stucco rendering was removed about 1900.text/html2009-11-18T10:56:55+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889?a=Miss+Helen+Mary+James++%28deceased%29Miss Helen Mary James (deceased)50.875617 0.328381TQ6311 : Herstmonceux Place

This picture shows Herstmonceux Place, circa 1932, after which it ceased to be a private house and was divided into flats.
The north front of the house (not visible in this photo) was built in the late 17th century. The south and east fronts (seen here) were designed by Samuel Wyatt in 1778. The white panels are made of Coade Stone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coade_stonetext/html2006-03-13T15:54:17+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.659622 -2.565212ST6195 : Flood Defences

The River Severn retaining wall makes two acute turns at this point in the north-western corner of the grid square, near North Ham Corner. At low tide many yards of alluvial mud are exposed, but the notice warns the unwary of the rapid tides and swift currents.text/html2006-03-13T15:46:55+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.645201 -2.572258ST6094 : Oldbury Power Station
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/136336
The Nuclear Power Station, seen here from the south, was built circa 1967. At full power, it produces enough electricity to power a city one and a half times the size of nearby Bristol.text/html2006-03-13T15:42:34+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.652401 -2.570904ST6095 : Ruin
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/136331
The ruinous building is marked on some maps. It stands at the junction of the Severn Way footpath and the public footpath leading to Job's Green Farm. From the height of the remaining gable wall, this was probably once a two-storey house, rather than a farm building.text/html2006-03-13T15:36:47+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.654241 -2.562254ST6195 : Shepperdine Withybed

Looking east from the Severn riverbank. The clump of trees was the source of withies, pliable willow branches, used to make baskets etc.text/html2006-03-13T14:48:04+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.667768 -2.553746ST6196 : White House light
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/136292
Beside the aptly-named White House stand two navigational lights to guide shipping on the River Severn. This photo was taken, looking south-west, on the Severn Way at the extreme north-eastern edge of the square.text/html2006-03-13T14:28:32+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.672318 -2.542232ST6297 : Rhine Mouth
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/136278
Looking north-west from beside the sluice (see other photo for this square). The rhine (a local name for drainage streams; pronounced 'reen') enters the River Severn at low tide. The Severn fills 3/4 of this grid square.text/html2006-03-13T14:23:56+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.671425 -2.540776ST6297 : Sluice Gate
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/136274
Looking east from the riverbank path. This sluice gate was constructed to prevent the high tides of the River Severn from flooding the farmland of the Vale of Berkeley.text/html2006-03-13T14:19:55+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.676860 -2.532163ST6397 : From the County boundary

Looking north-east from the boundary between Gloucestershire (in this picture) and South Gloucestershire. The wood and pond are beside the River Severn (to the north-west), and may have been constructed for wildfowl shooting.text/html2006-03-13T14:13:41+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.679576 -2.527856ST6398 : The Severn Way

Severn Lane is a no-through-road, ending here at Severn House Farm. Looking west along the final few yards of public road, the River Severn is invisible behind the farmhouse.text/html2006-03-13T14:01:03+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4889David Exworth51.684174 -2.504766ST6598 : Farmland near Berkeley Power Station
