Steve,
I live near Billingshurst. I worked for a company called CAB Metals. You might have seen some of our motors about. We were taken over by another steel firm from Canterbury who promptly made us all redundant! I now work for McVeigh Parker who are fencing and Agricultural suppliers in the South East with depots at Billingshurst, Headcorn and Bradfield Nr, Reading. I ran out of Shoreham about 20 years ago (god was it that long ago!) hauling mainly timber.
