East Sussex memories
I was born in Wilmington Way Patcham in 1938. I remember it to be high up on the South Downs.
Has anyone posted up to date pictures of Patcham on the net, please. I left in about 1942, and would like to know what it looks like now.

I grew up in Hove in the 1950s in Connaught Terrace, a small, seemingly insignificant road of terraced houses just around the corner from this church. The structure behind the church spire in this photo is a gas holder. I think there are three sited together and the streets where I and my friends played are directly behind them. My mother... [more]

My earliest memories of the old Hove Town Hall are of a massively impressive red brick building opposite which was a 'Gamleys' toy shop to which I'd be taken by my mother whenever we had enough money!
There used to be professional wrestling bouts held there (the Town Hall, not the toy shop!) and I can recall being taken to see... [more]

Things are a little hazy, but, I think the year is about right, providing that this is the church on the Church Road before the gardens going towards Brighton.

Haywards Heath - A History & Celebration
TODAY IT IS still possible to see some vestiges of buildings that were known to those who lived through the English Civil War almost 400 years ago; one example is Pennies, a half-timbered house thought to have been built in 1606 and mentioned on a map of 1638, and currently incorporated within Dinnages garage in Sussex/ Wivelsfield Road. Another is the Sergison Arms/Dolphin pub that was mentioned in 1599, as well as... [more]

Haywards Heath - A History & Celebration
The aftermath of the recession left businesses striving to become more efficient. It was not just the service industries and manufacturing industries that had to transform themselves, but the local agricultural scene also needed to change. The main casualty in Haywards Heath was the closure of the livestock market, which had at one point in its existence been the twelfth largest livestock market in the country. Times certainly had changed.... [more]
