Peter Houghton… I remember those days!

Jeanette Wilde… Me too

Lloyd Johnson… Queens Hotel…I was probably sitting in The Pamdor at this moment keeping out of trouble!….I remember looking out of The Club window above The Pamdor main coffee bar on the second floor watching them coming down Queens road ,chrome side panels flashing in the sun!…

Pearl Phillips… Was in Woolworths they locked us all in

John Wilde… We were at The Happening Kings Rd. Waiting for the mods

Angela Frances Gardner… the nuns probably kept us well away from the seafront

Lloyd Johnson… Hastings 1964….

Douglas Palmer… At the time of the riots (Aug Bank Holiday was beginning of August in those days) I was aged16 and a patient in the Royal East Sussex Hospital. I well recall sitting on the verandah overlooking White Rock Gardens as the police ordered the gangs to abandon their scooters and walk down to the seafront. Later that evening an injured Rocker and a Mod were admitted to our ward. They proceeded to hurl insults at each other until the matron gave them a good telling off. They were quiet as mice after that!

Jeanette Wilde… lovely story
