I was Portslade County Infants Schools plumber from the seventies onwards (called Brackenbury now)The building next to it going up the hill was St Nicholas CE school in which I also worked.
I lived in my first flat opposite the pub in the early eighties. The main railway line was at the bottom of the small garden. When the trains went by the ornaments rattled. Also played for the pub in the Sunday league. After the games the two teams we had would go back for a few beers.It was...
I live just up the road from the Bevy. Went in there when it was 'oldy worldy' and recently since it has been done up.
Very nice now and a good place for a pre pint before the ten minute ride on the bus to the Amex.
Scored my first Sunday league goal on that sloping pitch. The first of 111. I was more of a provider than a scorer as it took 22 years to get them :moo:
I will have to ask my 89 year old mum!
We had to move from the flat because the Landlady said my crying kept the other residents awake lol.
Ended up in St Mary Magdalene Street so Fairlight Infants & Juniors then Moulsecomb Seniors after.
I was only a one year old in 1957.
My Mum and Dad had a dingy flat opposite the Aquarium.
So I would have travelled on those trolley buses.
I feel very old :moo:
