The Hurstpierpoint Society, founded in 1962, is a well-supported village charity with more than 1,300 members, all committed to improving and protecting all that we love about our village. The Society trustees take a particular interest in planning issues that might irrevocably damage the appearance and character of this historic village, or the ecology of the surrounding countryside.
Your Interactive Guide to Hurstpierpoint High Street
One of the Society’s most popular projects is the interactive guide to our shops and outlets, ‘Now & Then’
Based on Derek Rogers’ North and South High Street watercolours (1986-’88), you can now use the ‘Now’ & ‘Then’ buttons to see current and historical views of Hurst High Street. Use the ‘Find’ Box to search for the goods or services you’re looking for, or search by the ‘Find by category’ list. For instance if you’re looking for a restaurant, click on the key word and you’ll see listings of our much-loved local favourites: Morley’s Bistro, Village Pizza Kitchen, The New Inn, The Fig Tree and Nupur.
