Thank You Alan. I'm so grateful for your insights and knowledge. Truly appreciated. ☺
Very interesting indeed. Thank you for uploading this.
Wonderful video. Thank you so much for putting this online.
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Oh look, here it is. 😊
what memories - I used to live in Bexhill and would go to Eastbourne all the time - sometimes biking all the way - traffic was good in those days.
i lived a couple of doors down from Wenhams , which was a shp selling wool and cotton in Hamden Park
That was a very interesting talk with great photos. I used to run Debenham's Record & Tape Dept from 1973-77 and didn't know about the Arcade through the old Bobby store. Thanks Alan.
Fascinating,having lived in Eastbourne area for 50 years
Great to read your lovely memories. I hope in the future we can discover and paint more detail on the places and times you mention. Best wishes.
Just read this about TJHughes building. I agree it's a terrible and short sighted idea to demolish it. I'm going to petition the council to reconsider. Anyone interested in joining me?
My very first Saturday job while still at school was in Woolworths (1969), 26 shillings a week. What I wonder, when I see all this building work, was: Where were the builders living? There were no bulldozers etc, and no reinforced concrete, everything was bricks, laid by bricklayers! There must have been an army of them!
So interesting to watch your films on E/B's history. I've been doing this during this lockdown. Not sure 'evolution' is an apt word for the title of this film, more like 'development' (or deterioration). E/B has clearly known more elegant days! There were certainly more trees in the town centre than there are now. So sad about Sussex Gardens. I have often wondered about the houses above Boots. Now I know.......
There is plans to demolish TJ hughes. It's a beautiful Edwardian building!!!! Don't let it happen.
Thanks for flagging this up. Vigilance is key.
Any one know where this talk was given? Is it the Curzon Cinema ?
The venue was the Under Ground Theatre, as it was then, below the Eastbourne Central Library. It is credited at the end of the video.
Yes. I saw the talk. It was very popular and very interesting.
