A Thirties wooden cafe, said to be the last of its kind in the South East, has been dismantled and re-erected in a new location.

Fairmile Cafe, which stood on the A29 south of Bury, near Arundel, has been painstakingly reassembled at Amberley Working Museum.

The whole operation took three weeks.

The cafe became a well-known local landmark but ceased trading eight years ago.

The first mention of the cafe is in 1939, in notes made by Joyce Newman who lives in Madehurst.

Her father, Clement Newman, a farmer, ran a roadside kiosk on the A29 south of Punch Bowl Green.

Mr Newman attempted to move it further up the road but was not given permission by the county council to park it near the highway.

Miss Newman said: "When Lord Hardwicke, owner of the Dale Park Estate at the time, which included the escarpment known as Fairmile Bottom, heard of his problem, he stepped in and built the present building for him."

Its new home will be alongside the museum's vintage buses and a Thirties-style village garage.

Museum curator Sara Isted said the cafe would be restored to its former glory.

The majority of funding for the project came from a £50,000 Entrust grant with extra funds provided by West Sussex County Council.
