Fred Marsh… When there was a community, brilliant

Edward Bacon… My nanny Maggie Stonham and Grandad Larry (the Doctor) Stonham are in this pic

Linda Day… I was only 2 so dont remember anyone

Keith Veness… I was 2 my Gran lived at 138 St Georges

Ian Corbin… I was 4 my grandparents owned it not sure what years though, very early fifties vague memories, yes I’m old

Peter Ellingworth… Different society then…. a lot poorer in material terms, but when neighbours knew and in the main helped each other : the chap second left front row looks like he has an Old Contemptibles badge from the BEF in 1914.

David Hazleton… what a fascinating photo, used this pub back in the day when i think it was coming to the end of its time. From what i can find out Star Brewery was in Eastbourne and taken over by Courage, i wonder where the outing was going. We used the Angel the Granville the Shah the Plough the Whitefriars the Langham around the Mount Pleasant/West Hill area, would have been mid seventies onwards

Conan Howard… what a great photo ,I was 6 years old then.. just think they are all dead now
