Very disappointed to Google "Wimpy Park" and learn it's a boring old playground and not a theme park staffed by people in Beefeater costumes and with a ride called the Big Bender.

I've known Peacehaven since the 1960s. My grandparents, aunt and cousin have all lived there in the same bungalow purchased by my grandfather for his retirement more than 60 years ago. I'll be down there visiting my cousin for Christmas this year and we may try the Meridian Meander.
Also in Peacehaven, leading down to what was once a tidal swimming pool, are the Bastion Steps. As a child, I always thought these were the Sebastian Steps. |

Buying up property in 1915 far preferable to dying in the trenches.

The thing I like best about Peacehaven is the streets with then-fashionable children's names: Edith, Gladys, Phyllis, Roderick, Vernon, Victoria.

I've driven through Peacehaven many times over the years but never realised how it came into being relatively recently.
The March 1991 Context magazine linked to in the post too, has provided some additional interest this afternoon. |

Being one of your furthest-flung readers (according to Google 11,704 miles from the subject of today's entry - is there any reader more distant?), I never expected my adopted home city to feature - but today it has.
Greetings from the far side! dg writes: according to the plaque, 11735 miles from the monument |

Thanks: just done a more accurate plot on Google maps, and I'm 11,737 miles away.
