I used to work in the Suite in 1972. I was a glass-collector and didn't have much to do when Slade and Rod Stewart were there in concert. I as moved to the Orange Timepiece cloakroom but it was always empty. Hated Sherry's. Always too full! Was in Hennekys with father-in-law in the late 70s. At that time, it had a gas fire which looked like a log fire, and he kept flicking his fag-ash into it!

close bodiam avenue follows on from norwich drive.
The distance between the piers is exactly the same as the distance from the bell tower at St Nicholas's Churst to the sea.

Bought my first "stereo" here in 1979, an ITT 5042 music centre (remember "music centres"). Bought my first LP in either WH Smiths or Boots in Western Road the same day - "War of the Worlds" by Jeff Wayne.
I have asked this question before but what was the name of the shop in the old Churchill Square (believe it later became HMV) that sold records downstairs and toys/models upstairs?

The bridge over Hartington Road should have been listed, though - the brickwork on that arch was incredible - all sort of diagonal, and an absolute monument to craftsmen's genius!

It reopened as the 0273 Bar in 1995 then became The Island and is now The Babylon Lounge I had a flat in an old school building opposite on The Kingsway for five or so years. Which I sold incidentally for an astrinomical profit.
