Woodsgate corner, showing the Woodsgate Coaching House on the right of the picture.


The Upper Church of St Peter on Hastings Road near to the green. Built as a chapel in 1847. The 92 foor high steeple was removed in 1984 as it had become dangerous.

	Nothing remains of this building, the site is now occupied I think by the Texaco garage and Woodsgate Way? Although more local people might be able to confirm or correct this.
