Ken Wilson… Peter and Dave,they had all the latest gear,treated customers as friends,good to have known them.

Ron Crowther… where new shopping is .Or when there was a cricket ground there .

Judy Atkinson… To be fair, those shops (the buildings) were architecturally hideous!

Dave Nattress… Often visited Huckells from Bexhill when I entered my smooth period. Yes, a leather jacket, great, fabulous patterned shirts and really wide Lionels, hideous zigzag design pullovers, wide lapel jackets that battered you in the wind, quite wide ties, not so-called kippers but wide enough requiring a big knot. Platform shoes I think some came from there. We had no “fashion” boutiques in Bexhill only Peter Jackson on the corner of Sackville Road/Wickham Avenue, OK for Levi 501’s and lots of stuff but nothing really for the smooth and Hastings clubs look period. Ha Ha!! Great days.
