Jack and Jill windmills at Clayton are not far from Hurstpierpoint.

Thanks sillgen.
Been looking at windmills all afternoon!!! Can't match mine!! Unless they are gone and there are no photo s except mine!!! That's a thought. There is one in my home town Arundel still there but it's not that one! Although they all look similar they are different. Does that make sense?

Won't give up!

Have some more photos.  Was wondering if they could possibly be  Hassocks. On the cart in first pic is a name but I cant make it out.  On second the window on left says Daren Bread, I realise now after research it is a type of loaf, not the Bakers Name   Also I think that is a Mule has long ears.  And number 3 those houses look a bit like council houses. 

There is another picture that is full of information but I didn't like to post too many.  It is a ladies Scottish band in kilts playing bagpipes, they are parading past 2 building which are under construction. In front of one is a shed with a sign saying  Estate Agent, George Sales. On the other is a sign saying Hasssocks  ?  could be House.  The house opposite has  an advertising sign on side wall.  A.  Whitbourn - Decorator.

Have googled Hurstpierpoint and Hassocks and looked at so many pictures but they are all looking the same now!

By the way John I am not saying your OH is wrong with the house location!  Just thinking most  photosin album  are in and around those areas of Sussex. Except the beach ones obviously.

There is a windmill at West Blatchington, just outside Hove. Photos of it here:

There are windmills in other locations round Brighton and Hove.

I would suggest you contact The Argus, the local paper in Brighton and Hove and ask them to print the photos so that readers may be able to identify the places.

The last photo posted, the donkey and cart with man and boy standing with them, looks like Hurstpierpoint to me. The houses seem like some along Cuckfield Road, Hurstpierpoint.

Jo thanks, thats great I sort of hoped it was Hurstpierpoint.

Going back to Windmills, sadly that doesn't look like mine.  Yes good idea the Argus is worth a try.
Here are 2 pictures, they may well be the same windmill from different angles.  I have seen so many windmill pictures recently am getting confused.

I think they could be two different ones - look at the position of the door and window, if it is the same one I think you should be able to see that post in both and posibly that hut or whatever it is.
