I was born in '66 and grew up in Channel View Road. I can just remember seeing the trams when I was a little boys. You can still see the remnants of the old route and the old tram stop where the miniature golf is. 😊

Proper old vicars, a dying breed, right out of Miss Marple, along with the ready grin and bad teeth. Still recovering from, and obsessed with, the War. Still rebuilding.

This is before Kings Heath became a gay center with a world famous one block long gay pride parade courtesy of Joe Lycett. And, as a result of it becoming a center of gay culture, housing prices have risen. Sink the Bismarck! 🎉

I was born in Exmouth 1953 at 12 Morton Road and the beach was my playground. Still here in Exmouth and i remember the building of the zig zag path at Orcombe. It had to be cut back after a few landslips took out the old step path

Back then, i lived just around the corner in Morton Road. Had no money for this so we had to sit a long way back. Brilliant times aged 5 and i can remember all the rides. I still live in Exmouth having been born here. This was all my playground. It used to be fun catching the metal fish in the blue water for a prize.

It’s a shame the community is so small and less lively now. It was great to see my grandad in the marines band though

.It’s only looking back at fabulous film like this that you see just how much Eastbourne has deteriorated 🥲 really sad to see. Is it because councils are underfunded now and can no longer maintain public areas like roads and parks and seafront gardens. ? How shortsighted we rely heavily on tourism
