Glyndley Manor Hankham

A Memory of Eastbourne.

We had many a happy holiday in Eastbourne, staying at Glyndley Manor, an old Elizabethan Manor house, between the years of 1961 and 1970.  It had a mounting block in front of the entrance that me and my three sisters used to love climbing on.  In the hallway there was a lovely old cabinet with mother-of-pearl inlay.  We used to love playing in the grounds.  The gong used to be banged when it was time for breakfast or dinner.  There was a herony and a dove cote.  Our Mum & Dad didn't have a car in the earlier years and we used to walk into Eastbourne along the country lanes with hardly a car passing us.
