Young Snoop loved to go down to the County Ground and watch the cricket, but he always took an umbrella fo' drizzle.

Valentine Dyall lived in Burgess Hill. His daughter was at the same school as me (but younger, I think).

Must get Ravilious in there. Grew up and educated in Eastbourne. Sadly lost over Iceland in WW2.

Excellent man. Depicted the South Downs perfectly. Great exhibition at Dulwich Gallery last year. As you say though grew up in Eastbourne. Born in Acton. I suppose that counts. I see myself as Sussex although born in Exeter and here in my 6th year.

Good to see this thread brought back from the doldrums after seven years in exile.

Are we talking Sussex born and bred here? There are a lot of theatricals living in the county who weren't necessarily born here.

Peter Cleall. Brighton College boy. Saw him on many occasions on the East Terrace at The Goldstone in the 70s.

I am also having a string sense of deja vu all over again.
