Orange Bicycle – Hastings Pier 13th April 1968

Mick O’Dowd… Didn’t Orange Bicycle morph into someone else? Rupert’s People were an excellent band and their single “Reflections Of Charles Brown” single very “Whiter Shade of Pale-ish. Colin Bell had something to do with this band at one time. Believe he played drums for them.

Gerry Fortsch… I don’t think we really appreciated what we had until now.

Conqueror’s Stone at Hastings Pier 13th April 1978.

Julie Findlay-jones… I knew there was a large stone in front of Hastings pier (late 1960s ISH) somebody on FB said I was wrong.

Peter Checksfield… My dad said you could still see the tooth marks from where William the Conqueror dined on the stone! A seven year-old me believed him!

Tim Moose Bruce… Where is the stone now?

Yvonne Cleland… used to pass this stone every morning and evening on the way to/from West St. Leonards Infants and Junior Schools! x

Kev Carleonis… Better where it is now.

Graham Sherrington… Where is it now?? as Tim asked.

Nick Bloomfield… I don’t know why I found this piece but at least I have an answer – even though it’s very, very late… The Conqueror’s stone is now back in St Leonards opposite the Royal Victoria Hotel…
