When My Children Were Young.

We lived in Eastbourne at this time and would always come out to Pevensey Bay on summer days and spend time on the beach. It was so peacefull and there was very little traffic. There were many privately owned small shops and Pevensey Bay had a wonderfull village atmoshere. There was the Butchers shop, Greengrocers,Hairdressers,Do-It Yourself shop, who also sold wood e.t.c
Coast Road was rarely used by traffic, except to go to Normans Bay. The children used to love calling in to the Pet shop, who stocked Chinchilla, Rabbits, birds and other animals. We now live in the Bay and after all these years still loveit, although it has sadly changed,--- like most lovely villages.One shop I forgot to mention was Gilberts Grocery, We could buy everything we wanted and were always made to feel so welcome.

RE: RE: When My Children Were Young.

I would be really interested to know if anybody has any old pictures of a house called 'The Sandcastle', previously known as 'The Boxes' in Pevensey Bay. It was built in 1934 and is situated forward of the building line on Val Princeps Rd. We now own the house but have no idea what it looked like in it's more original state. Even if it was from a distance it might give us some idea.
Thank-you.
