If the Snowman and the kid are off to see Santa (assume at the North Pole) why are they heading South? Is he at the South Pole?

ITS THE PALACE PIER it was and always will be

Most sensible post this site has ever had.

The writer, Raymond Briggs lives in Westmeston. To my knowledge, he was there when The Snowman was released and so it has to be Palace Pier.

Especially as the original video has them flying over the Royal Pavilion and the Palace Pier.

In related news, there's an exhibition of original Snowman artwork on at Brighton Museum til the end of the year. Take along utility bill, council tax statement etc. for residents free admission

I think it's the wrong way round, building in background looks like Roedean to me

Sorry, but you're mistaken. It's definitely Edinburgh Castle in the background

Found it thanks - £3 delivery though robbing ********!

Code 'PST082' helps with that (if you're buying the tenner one).

If that's Brighton then they must be Portslade Cliffs to the west.
