About Fencing in Crawley
Crawley in Sussex is an ancient settlement that received its first charter from King John in 1202, and for centuries it developed slowly as a small market town on the main coaching road between London and Brighton, prospering especially in the mid 18th century as Brighton itself grew into a fashionable resort and Crawley became a convenient halfway stopping point. Everything changed after the Second World War, when Crawley was designated a New Town in 1947, and the opening of Gatwick Airport on the edge of the town in the 1940s drove rapid commercial and industrial growth, with planners deliberately encouraging manufacturing industry to give the expanding town its own economic base beyond commuting. Today Crawley's identity is still closely tied to Gatwick, one of Britain's busiest international airports, which sits just across the county border in Surrey but has grown effectively contiguous with the town.
