Hi,
there is a village called Kingsfold but, its not near Billingshurst. Take the Dorking Road from Horsham and its the second village you come to on the A24.

My grandfather was a prisoner in this camp. I would like to know if there is something left of this camp. All i know is that in the 70's there was a farm with horses, and that in this farm an italian prisoner had drawn a Venice landscape.
