Pease Pottage
Map and General Information
![[Map showing Pease Pottage]](g/pease.jpg) |
Pease Pottage lies just south of Crawley, approximately midway between London and Brighton in the south of England. Map shown here from Google Maps - click on the map to show the location on Google Maps. Pease Pottage is Old English and translates to "pea soup". The town of Crawley is a vast centre of modern
industries, with a huge
population of residents that has spilled over into the neighbouring
countryside and towns for recreation, shopping and entertainment. I haven't been able to find any textbooks which mention much at all about Pease Pottage - the National Trust Atlas (1981) contains a map showing the village's location, but that was about it. |
Additional Notes
Pease Pottage has a service station, one pub (the Black Swan), and a florist.
Nearby locations visited in Business Unusual include Ashdown Forest, Kemp town in Brighton, and Hove immediately to the west of same.
Millennial Rites says it has a corner shop, and Business Unusual places Mel's home in Downview Crescent - these are both fictional (at least Downview Crescent doesn't appear on Google Maps!).
