Diane Stephenson Flyright Records Bexhill 1977

Leigh Mitchell… I have a Flyright record!

Alan Esdaile… I’ve probably got the same one Leigh!

David Boss… A great record shop . In the 70s l bought heaps of 50s Rockabilly records here. These guys turned me on to Ray Campi, Charlie Feathers etc . I still play these records today and love them.

Dave Nattress… I remember Diane and Flyright very well as too a young Mr Pack. Always in there buying stuff – a great shop! A nice lady and a touch of the Glam about her!

Terry Pack… I worked in the shop and the import/export business from the age of 14 on. Loved it.

Dawn Leaney… A big part of the village years ago. I can remember the smell of new shoes as you went in. I saved up as a teenager to buy a pair of cream high patent shoes with a big button on the side that l had seen in the window. Loved those shoes.

Audrey Huggins… Loved that shop

Judy Atkinson… I remember getting shoes there, especially summer sandals (the ones with the cut-out design), we only lived a few doors along. A proper shoe shop with that special smell

Wendy Bevis… School shoes xx

Mick O’Dowd… Remember it well. Cornelius fruit shop next door. Now Hastings Pet Shop and Winchesters.

Alan Esdaile… As a number of people have said, shoe shops in those days had the shoe shop smell. Also how exciting is the window display, so much to see.

Linda O’leary… I remember those days!

Janet Brophy… I remember those days!
