Eastbourne was a lot of fun in the 1970s - we had lovely shops and it was £1 a day for the tennis
I do sympathise with the man mentioned recently who felt like weeping when he was shown around Eastbourne today.
I feel just the same, when I remember what lovely place it used to be!
The lovely shops we had, now all gone, just a memory.

Hide AdI wonder, particularly, whether anyone remembers Tennis at the Devonshire Park in the 1970s? You went in at the side entrance to the Park, paid at the little kiosk just inside the gate, £1 for the day.
No ugly concrete stands, you sat on little chairs on the terrace, got up and wandered around whenever you felt like it, had a cup of tea and returned to your seat.
And yes, we were watching the world’s top players , both male and female.
It was a lot more fun in those days!
