Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
William Wood, a native of Fletching, returned to Sussex after 30 years as an embassy servant and fo unded a nursery at Tyes Gate in Maresfield, on the edge of the Ashdown Forest, in 1826. The business was active, at first with great success, for almost a century, and was a major seasonal employer in the area. It took advantage of changes in horticultural and landscaping fashions and the rise of the 'gentleman gardener'. The second generation had none of William's resistance to the ra ilway and used it to the full. Untimely deaths, changing fashions and post-war depression led to the decline of the business, and ultimately to its closure in 1922. | |||||||||||
