More about this scene
All along the coastal belt, but rarely extending more than a few miles inland, rounded beach flints or cobbles were used for walls and every type of building. At Rustington, the 11th-century church and the cottages in The Street, Sea Lane and Station Road are all built of these flint boulders.

One of these was an unopened parcel addressed to him in Braintree, Essex from Heasmans Ltd, 4, Broadmark Parade, Rustington, Sussex, which must have been sent between 1945 and 1952, the post mark is ...see more
I went to West Preston Manor school in 1959, first as a boarder and then as a day girl. It was a fine old manor house where the dormitories were and on the ground floor, the classrooms. In the basement was the dining room and the kitchen run by Alice. There was a country lane on the right of the main entrance, Pigeonhouse Lane which was very dark and overgrown with large trees. I lived in Park Drive, ...see more
