Duncan… thanks to people for their fond memories of my Grandfather Len Creese. I have come across a few larger professionally taken photos of him and the Priory Ground. This one I believe is a photo of Len in his Hampshire Jumper umpiring or at least taken stock of the toss between a young Mike Griffith (Sussex Captain 1972) and Mike Denness ( Kent Captain 1972) at Priory Meadow Hastings. My mother at 92 remembers her time, with fondness, in the salon bar where she on occasion helped out her mother and father in serving the locals at the Dripping Well. One person she seems to remember that frequented the pub was local dentist Geffory Dejimmeney, if any one recalls him that would be nice to know about.
Julian Deeprose… Len was also landord of the Dripping Well in Cambridge Road
Fred Marsh… How I would love to wonder down to the town now and watch a day’s county cricket
Patrick Lewis… Was he not the groundsman at the Central Cricket Ground?
Nigel Kennard… Did the Dentist Mr Dejimmeney have a daughter Marie-Lou, who went to Elphinstone Primary school in the mid to late 1960s?
