Lancing, Sussex.

A Memory of Lancing.

When I was 5, my family moved to Lancing in 1952, from a flat above Elliott's Shoe shop, Brighton Road, Purley (London), to a rented a shared home "Suva" on the Brighton Road, Lancing - a stones throw from the beach. In 1953 we moved just round the corner to "Greenways", 32 Lancing Park, the last bungalow on the left. Whilst living there, from 1953-1958, my sister Carol and I met Marjorie (Midge) McLellan, who spent her school holidays with her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Lockhart, who lived opposite. This picture reminds me of Midge, and I think it might be her. On her right in the pic is an estate agent where her mum, Anne ? McLellan, worked for a while, after Midge and her Mum and Dad moved to Culver Road, Lancing, from London (? Clapham).
We three were great friends, but lost touch. My sister still lives in Lancing, but I emigrated to Canada in 1972. Like many on this website, I have become nostalgic for the simpler, good times, and lovely places of my youth in England and enjoy visits to this website often.
Marjorie, if you are out there, I would love to hear from you.
