The removal and transport of the Tyreing Dish was ‘interesting’. Albert West, the farmer of Home Farm, came to the forge with his tractor and front loader. He lifted the dish upright and it was manhandled on to the front loader, strapped down and lifted into the air in a leaning position slightly off vertical. Then off he went down the old A27 to enter Stanmer Park at Lower Lodges. What a sight! This was told me by Charlie Yeates but unfortunately no photos appear to exist.
