Pease Pottage

The village green is fragmented now because of the alignment of the roads. The greens are kept in beautiful condition thanks to the Parish ouncil. The entrance to Pease Pottage in the spring is quite magnificent when all the bulbs are in flower and the shrubs have gained their leaves once more.
There is only one public house in the village,The Black Swan Public House, Horsham Road. Pease Pottage was once the popular stopping off point for "charabancs" (coaches as they are now called) on their way from London to Brighton taking Londoners on their days out to the seaside. In those days it was not unusual to see the visitors sitting on the greens around the public house having their picnic lunches. Alas, these days, nearly every household has a motor car and this is now the popular method of travelling on days out which has led to some of the huge increase in traffic on our roads. No longer do they stop for a picnic en route - preferring to get straight to their destination without stopping to look and "stand and stare".
There is only one shop in Pease Pottage since the re alignment of the A23 London to Brighton Trunk Road, a barbers. Prior to that there was a garden nursery and a garage with a shop.
Pease Pottage has also seen significant development in recent years, including mixed‑tenure housing at the Woodgate estate, The Hub community facility, and the new St Catherine’s Hospice. The village is also home to new Primary School, which serves families from across the parish and forms an important part of local community life.
