For this watercolour, Knighton-Hammond set himself up in Lewes Road looking towards the crossroads and West Street beyond. The spire of St Margaret’s Church can be seen standing proudly on the right. Historic Ditchling is built up of varying periods and styles of architecture which the artist depicts with its linear perspective, the brilliant rendition of brickwork, masonry, stucco, timber frame, tiles and slate. The figures going about their business give scale, movement and spontaneity to the composition. A bus is parked up waiting for its passengers. Executed on the spot with watercolours, Knighton-Hammond exploits its special ability to convey light and space.
