It's not a bad place to live - I'm in my sixth year here.

As one ages a quieter place is normally what one seeks.

There are worst places.

Is MOD Southwick Park in the vicinity?

I guess the new library must be on the same site? The photo must have been taken from Southdown Road?

Indeed. Dr Tim Buck (too) ex-club doctor was there - Manor Practice - he injected a steroid into my plantar fasciitis.

Or The Schooner depending which side of the station.

Didn't Uncle Spielberg live there until a year or so ago ? Could this explain Southwick's sudden rise up the table ?

Schooner on the A259 coast road - recently suffering fire damage and still classed as far as I know.

The Ship is in Southwick Street between the Square and the station.

That's the one. To be honest only went in there a few times. Not even sure if it still exists.

It does. It's a bit of an 'old school' boozer run by the same landlady for as long as I can remember - the landlord passed away a few years ago.

Worked there for about five years before 2000 and yes pretty normal but no more so than other coastal towns along that strip. Cricketers is an ok pub but preferred the one nearer the station the name of which I can't remember. Shopping bit is dull but serves its purpose.

The Ship - ignored smoking ban at first but must of changed that by now!

The Ship - first place my Dad took me for a pint of mild and bitter. Played darts in there for many years, and was always a 'proper' pub. I had no idea the library had gone - that is a change for the better!
