Perhaps I was a little harsh except regarding the area around terminus road. That's an eyesore. However the shopping centre in Eastbourne is maybe a little bland and due sympathetic modernisation. Other than that, I love the town, it's where I was born and eventually returned at the age of 40...

Yes! That's right, I'd completely forgotten that!

Wisden's I think.

Yes that's a fair point. But that is a small part of town, most of it doesn't look like that. However take a trip along the seafront, all very tidy and the gardens are lovely. That has been the case for as long as I can remember. Brighton in the 70's and 80's, well the seafront was dingy.

About time.... Glasfryn may have been referring to the shopping facilities in Eastbourne, which frankly are in much need of improvement. We'd have had a new town centre were it not for the EU but that's another argument.

I used to love shopping in North Laine and Trafalgar Street. As you say record shops, bookshops, what's not to like?

Eastbourne was not and is not now as scruffy as Brighton was.
