We're very lucky, we live directly opposite the Wolfe Recreation Ground, owned and managed by Crowborough Town Council, for which every approach to Crowborough features a direction sign showing you the way to go. For everybody else on Blackness Road, directing people can be a bit more difficult. To make things a little bit easier for everyone, I have created a Google Map which has got every single house in Blackness Road detailed. Visit maps.google.co.uk and enter the house name you are looking for, followed by Crowborough (e.g. Blackness House, Crowborough), and you will be shown exactly where the house is. Alternatively, to see the entire map of Blackness Road in Google Maps, click on the image below.

There are a number of sports clubs based at Wolfe Recreation Ground, but other than that it is a fairly peaceful road. But it hasn't always been that way...

Back in the 1920's, Norman Thorne was tried and gaoled for the murder of Elsie Cameron. His chicken farm, on Blackness Road, was the location for this dastardly dead. His trial was written about in a book published in 1930, "The Trial of Norman Thorne - The Crowborough Chicken Farm Murder". This book, amazingly somewhat rare now, can be found on Amazon for the bargain price of £150 - see here. Alternatively Minnete Walters dramatised the story in "Chickenfeed", a Pan Quick Read, also available from Amazon (here), but at the rather more affordable price of £1.99.
