Great place to grow up as a child/teenager in 70s/80s
3 places to hang out
1, southwick beach - slept down there many nights as a teenager, climbed over fences at power station to collect wooden Pallets (great for firewood) lovely roaring fire as waves crashing against bum holes, the name given to hole like sea defences, while we drank bottles of cider & Cinzano listening to radio Luxembourg on the wireless radio
2, southwick Rec - where we'd hang out all day playing either football (I'm Kevin keegan) or cricket (I'm Vivvean Richards )
And end up getting chased off by the park keeper while we played football on the Hockey pitches
3, southwick hill - where we'd collect bundles of hay and place under the electric pylons, then see who could climb up and jump off the highest point of the pylons with a decent landing guaranteed
Also great memories of Windmill pub where I'd stand every Sunday from 12 till 2 with a coke & bovril crisps inbetween the public & saloon bar waiting for my dad to finish drinking with the likes of Jimmy Collins( ex Albion) before heading home for Sunday roast
Yeah I suppose Southwick is pretty normal especially in 70's & 80s

1,2 and 3 for me during 60's and 70's
Even longer in the evening due to avoiding the punches whilst getting to the bar.
Ahh, The Ship, an old traditional boozer, customers from the 1980's.

As an aside, don't you just love the holding my nose while I patronise these awful white English people take on it by the BBC. They really don't like us do they?

The Ship was my local for years back when it was run by the lovely Pat and the 'Meldrewesque' Rory. Windmill boozer long gone as is The Pilot.

I've been to a few parties there, seems an OK place, like the Ship, not keen on the big pub on the green. Has its own festival doesn't it?
Saw Half Man Half Biscuit there about 20 odd years ago and Captain Sensible. Any place is what you make it shirley?
