COMMENT

DEVELOPMENT AT ROOKWOOD

ousing development in Horsham is becoming an increasingly thorny subject. On page 12 you can read about the ‘Keep Rookwood Green Aliance’ (KRGA) that has been recently formed in response to the proposal to build 1,100 dwellings at Rookwood Golf Course, one of the ‘strategic sites’ in the Local Plan consultation. The KRGA believe that the Rookwood site should be retained as a green space to provide leisure and recreational opportunities for both the local community in Horsham town and those from further afield. The KRGA argue this proposal threatens Warnham Local Nature Reserve, which is adjacent to Rookwood, through noise and light pollution, increased predation by cats and by severing the Reserve’s wildlife corridors to the west. It would be isolated within urban development and argue it will

axe a popular amenity, destroy a valued green space and damage one of the most bio-diverse sites in Sussex. KRGA are urging residents to sign their petition and write to your local councillor by visiting www.keeprookwoodgreen.org The article first appeared in Horsham Pages North and you can see on page 14 that it has already sparked a lot of comment from residents. Clearly any proposed development will divide opinions with the need for housing being weighed against the need to protect the countryside and prevent the ever increasing strain on services. Please write to me with your opinions regardless of which side of the arguement you stand? Richard Milbourn, Editor E: editor@carnahpublications.com

HORSHAM DISTRICT COUNCIL

HEALTH PROGRAMME BY PHONE

n response to the current pandemic, Horsham District Council’s Wellbeing team has launched a brand new health and wellbeing programme which can be accessed from home via phone. Throughout the coronavirus crisis, the team has continued to support local residents and those working across the District to keep them fit and healthy, both physically and mentally. This new programme, which is completely free, offers three different phone sessions:

Home Decorating

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

Emotional health and wellbeing This session focusses on managing stress and anxiety. It gives advice on improving sleep and addresses the subject of emotional eating - looking at triggers, barriers, and challenges, and finding ways to tackle them. Healthy eating and nutrition This session looks more closely at your current diet and how it can be improved. We look at the Eatwell plate and offer tips and suggestions on everything from healthy food swaps to shopping and meal planning. Physical activity This session discusses the importance of physical activity, looking at your current levels of fitness and how to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Commenting on the new programme, Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Community Matters and Wellbeing Cllr Tricia Youtan said: “Never has it been more important for us all to remain fit and healthy both physically and mentally, than during these challenging times. This is an excellent package for people who are ready and motivated to make changes to their diet and lifestyle, but don’t want to join a long course and can’t attend courses in person due to the current circumstances. “I would encourage as many of you as possible to sign up – it’s absolutely free and couldn’t be easier to join.” To find out more details or book a place please contact Horsham Wellbeing on 01403 215111, email info@horshamdistrictwellbeing.org.uk

Putting the safety and wellbeing of our residents and business communities first is all important for us as a council, so we now feel it is right to announce that there will be no events organised throughout Horsham District during the rest of 2020. All event partners are being informed of this decision accordingly. Looking to the future, the Council’s Economic Development team are now developing events which have shorter lead times so that, should the restrictions be lifted, they will be able to stage outdoor events for the benefit of the District’s residents, visitors and businesses within tighter deadlines. Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for the Local Economy Cllr Paul Clarke commented: “Our District is well known for its unique events which bring enjoyment to many and support our town centre businesses.

KRGA

KEEP ROOKWOOD GREEN ALLIANCE

n the recent Local Plan consultation Horsham District Council (HDC) proposed several ‘strategic sites’ for future housing developments. One of these is

Rookwood Golf Course where they propose to build 1100 high-density dwellings, up to five storeys high. The Covid-19 emergency has emphasised how access to local green space is vital for physical and mental wellbeing. Given the impact the proposals would have on the areas adjacent to Rookwood Golf Course, the “Keep Rookwood Green Alliance” (KRGA) has been formed from local groups. We (KRGA) believe that the Rookwood site should be retained as a green space to provide leisure and recreational opportunities for both the local community in Horsham town and those from further afield. This proposal threatens Warnham Local Nature Reserve, which is adjacent to Rookwood, through noise and light pollution, increased predation by cats and by severing the Reserve’s wildlife corridors to the west. It would be isolated within urban development. HDC does need to produce a Local Development

READERS’ LETTERS

RESPONSE TO ROOKWOOD PLAN

ear Editor,

As a resident of Horsham, for the last 30 years I feel compelled to write to you regarding the above proposal. I find it both outrageous and very sad that HDC seem set on obliterating the green field sites we have around the town. The number of houses already built along the A24 has led to traffic congestion at busy times, the local schools are becoming overcrowded as are all essential amenities. We already have had to endure the new development along the A264 (and it would appear the eyesore that is the incinerator). There is now a proposal for nearly 500 new houses at New House Farm, where is this going to end? This land should be left to nature and let us residents actually have some green land on our doorsteps. I always considered that Horsham would be the Town I remained in but, as soon as possible, I will be looking to leave as the town, which has consistently been voted one of the best places to live in the UK, is being ruined by greedy developers supported by a greedy council. Yours, Ian Bashford

down, but for the development of wildlife and nature. Already there is a “pandemic” of the spread of housing infestation along the stretch on the A24, Broadbridge Heath, with plans for more on the bypass north of Robinhood roundabout. With such an inundation of new residents into the town, more leisure facilities like Rookwood are needed not less! I fully support the points in support of retaining Rookwood as a green space, to provide leisure and recreational opportunities for both the local community and those from further afield. Kinds regards, Nairon Khan Please write with any letters to editor@horshampublications.com

I read your comment on Horsham Pages North with interest. I am a golfer and I do play at Rookwood golf course, which is a lovely course. To lose it to more houses will be a sad day. I also reside near the course and I also enjoy going on the river walk which runs alongside the course into the Warnham reserve. Its a beautiful area, not only for walks which I, and no doubt hundreds of residents have enjoyed during the lock

STUDIO 2

BRAVE NEW WORLD OF HAIR

ello everyone - this edition is

being written by me, Tim Fifield - Mandy’s husband.

Mandy sends her love but as I write she, along with the Studio2 team, is diligently working through a substantial backlog of appointments missed due to Covid-19. It’s a big list, so understandably she’s a “bit” tied up!!! One may be under the misapprehension that if a hairdressing salon has to close for more than three months the owner may take a little “me time” - maybe catch up on a boxed set or two, or indulge in a little novel reading. I can report however that I’ve never seen my wife work so hard. Supporting the needs of a large team and thousands of guests is a big task which does not stop when hairdryers stop blowing. Here are the ways that Mandy supported her business and the community it serves in the run up to when we reopened on July 4th. ● Diligently following the government announcements and guidelines ● Following and supporting the hair industry through webinars and daily briefings ● Sourcing, ordering and installing PPE and signage ● Rebooking guests ● Creating revised team rotas ● Writing safety policies ● Communicating via social media They say that what defines a business is not what happens day to day but how it reacts in adversity and I am so proud of what Mandy and her team have achieved to ensure their safety and the well-being of you, our guests, in this brave new world of hair. You can book appointments by visiting our website www.studio2horsham.co.uk or calling 01403 255555.

WRITING COMPETITION

or children, the Covid-19 pandemic will be regarded as one of the major events in modern history. Horsham Rotary would like to ensure that the children of Horsham and surrounding district are given the opportunity to make an historical record of their time during lockdown. Horsham Rotary are running a competition for children aged 5-16 years inviting them to write their account of their memories with a maximum of 500 words entitled ‘My Family Life under Lockdown’. The hope is to record all these accounts of their lives during these strange and unique times and to present them in a way that preserves these childhood memories for years to come. There will be four age groups, 5-7, 8-10, 11-13,

14-16 and the winners will be decided by a panel of professional judges with a £100 prize for the winner, £50 for second and £25 for third in each age group. All entries to be submitted by parent or guardian and received by 15th August. After your children have written their story please go to the Horsham Rotary website at www.horshamrotary.org.uk and paste it into the entry form on the home page.

hese have been unprecedented times for all of us during Lockdown, but one of the few 'Silver Linings’ has been the opportunity it has given us to get the jobs done we’ve maybe been putting off for years….like converting those video tapes ‘lost in the loft’ to digital. In truth, we’ve been busier than ever with people bringing us their family archives, wedding videos etc.; some people opting to convert them to DVDs, some to digital files like mp4, stored on a Memory Stick. A number of past customers have also come back with their DVDs to get them converted to digital file - effectively future-

Football Association Challenge Cup in 1871, the FA’s rules became the norm. Gradually local County and District Associations sprang up around the country, often running their own leagues and tournaments. Horsham was no exception, and on 23 February 1871, the West Sussex Gazette reported that Horsham now had its first football club that played in Springfield Park. According to contemporary sources one of the local churches launched this new club, and its rules mostly followed the framework set out by the FA and included several

Warnham FC., Working Mens F.C., Billingshurst F.C. , Handcross F.C., Southwater F.C. Over the next few years, the Horsham and District Football Association strove to ensure that the players in its teams were amateurs, rather than one of the newly emerging professional footballers. The August 1911 minutes record that the Association agreed, “no player having played in any recognised County Senior Cup or League Competition regularly during the previous season, or more than three times during the present season shall take part in this competition unless sanctioned by the Committee.” Following the events of the two World Wars, the Horsham and District Football Association was evidently very successful, as by 1939 it had expanded to four divisions. By the 1960s, the League had developed even further, with three divisions, a minor league, four cup competitions, and two minor cup competitions. In 1970, the Horsham and District Football league merged with the West Sussex Football League. Horsham District is now well served with football clubs who cater for all age groups, genders, backgrounds and abilities. They range from workplace teams, through to women’s teams, disability football teams, walking football teams, children’s teams and leagues, through to large clubs with a major following. Each group and club has its own history, complete with its own unique characters, successes and stories.

GARDEN VIEW

WELL-BEING AND WATER

ost people find the sound of water relaxing. The benefits of 'blue space' â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the sea, rivers, lakes, canals and waterfalls, have been studied, and found to be psychologically restorative; associated with increased sense of well-being, lower levels of stress and mental illness, lower blood pressure, and higher levels of vitamin D. In short, being by water is good for body and mind. Can we replicate this in our gardens? The presence of water in the garden can transform a space into a natural haven of calm, and provide a focal point. Running water in a garden produces negative ions which are known to increase serotonin production in the brain. Serotonin is the chemical that elevates our mood and relaxes us. There are many ways to introduce water into a smaller space, including natural look ponds and waterfalls, but you don't need a deep ornamental pond; you can create a small pond in a container, or create a toddler and pet-friendly pebble pond, or install a modern water feature which uses reflective surfaces that bounce light around, creating movement and life in the tiniest space. Any water source will attract a wide range of wildlife. I have a metallic sphere water feature on my patio that seems to be a magnet for dragonflies, which are a delight to watch. A shallow beached area or pebble pool will attract bathing birds, and also frogs and toads, which can shelter, breed, and stay out of sight of potential predators. You may even attract a hedgehog or two. They enjoy shallow pools with sloped edges, so they can drink and bathe without falling in. A small barrel or container pond will allow algae to grow which will attract water invertebrates including snails, pond skaters and water boatmen. Kids love water so introducing a pond is a

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

great way to encourage them to learn about local wildlife while having fun. Safety is crucial though; if you have young children it might be better to wait until they are older before creating a large pond, as it will require constant supervision. A pebble pool with a small fountain effect provides all the sound and fun of water with none of the depth, and a large trug or half barrel can be transformed into a tiny wildlife pond. If you do create a pond, position it where it can be seen from the house, make sure the edges slope gently, and fence it off while the children are young. Planting around water features is half the fun. The water forget-me-not, Myosotis scorpioides is perfect for growing in shallow water or in the muddy area at the edge of ponds. It has pretty blue flowers in late spring and attracts newts, which lay their eggs on the leaves. Irises and grasses look lovely planted around any water features and you can even find a tiny lily - Nymphaea 'Pygmaea Alba' white - for small ponds, which has the bonus of being heavily scented. Water features in a garden are no longer the preserve of the rich, with acres to spare. Even if you only have a tiny balcony you can now enjoy the sight and sound of water in your outside space. Happy gardening.

yiasis, or fly strike as it is more commonly known, is a distressing condition that can affect rabbits in warmer weather. Flies lay their eggs directly on the rabbit and within hours they hatch into maggots which feed on the rabbit’s flesh causing severe pain, shock and potentially death. Flies are attracted to areas soiled with faeces or urine and therefore rabbits that are overweight, have arthritis or dental disease, which can prevent effective grooming, are particularly susceptible. In order to prevent fly strike, ensure you are taking the following simple precautions: • Check your rabbit’s bottom twice a day in warmer weather and if any urine or faecal contamination is present, bathe and dry the area • Ensure they are receiving a balanced diet comprising of 85% grass or hay, 10% leafy greens and 5% pellets to prevent diarrhoea, which can result in faecal soiling • Keep the environment clean by regularly removing dirty litter and bedding • Use fly screens or grow fly repellent plants, for example rosemary, peppermint, basil and green oregano • Apply a topical insect growth regulator product (cyromazine) to prevent the fly eggs hatching • Monitor any wounds closely • Speak to your vet for advice if you suspect your rabbit has a urinary problem, arthritis or dental disease If you are concerned that your rabbit has fly strike, it is an emergency and important to seek veterinary advice immediately.

ENTERPRISE PARK PARTNERS SOUGHT

highly skilled and experienced development partner is being sought to help make the county council’s vision for Horsham Enterprise Park a reality. The partner will work side-by-side with the council to successfully deliver the high quality, mixed use, commercial and residential development on the Parsonage Road site.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

An illustrative 3D masterplan of how the completed development might look.

The county council purchased the site, formerly owned by Novartis Pharmaceuticals, in December 2016. The key driver for the council’s investment in buying the site was to sustain and build on its longestablished position as a major centre for high-value employment in Horsham town, as a key contributor to the local, county and sub-regional economy. The main features of the outline Horsham Enterprise Park development are: • 25,000 square metres of employment space - such as offices and research and development uses – on two-thirds of the site, including a new enterprise hub or collaborative workspace for micro and small businesses • Up to 300 new homes on one-third of the site in a range of sizes, types and tenures, including provision of 35 per cent affordable housing • Community facilities for shopping and other services Paul Marshall, Leader of West Sussex County Council, said: “This is an exceptional opportunity to join with the council in making our vision for one of the most exciting development sites in the county a reality. “The successful bidder will have the chance to deliver an exemplar scheme in an excellent location, which is in the heart of the Gatwick Diamond.” Prospective delivery partners who want to know more are asked to contact Alex McKinlay at Savills: alex.mckinlay@savills.com

SUSSEX MISCELLANY

THE JOY OF SUSSEX This new series of articles is written by Kevin Newman, a Sussex-born author, historian, tour guide around the county and history teacher.

hen Rudyard Kipling wrote “You be glad you are Sussex born!” in his poem ‘The Run of the Downs’, he was correct, we are indeed lucky to live in our lush locality. Sussex has a long and lively past and in this feature each month we will try to delve into the daft, analyse the awesome and remember the ridiculous. Today, to celebrate the semi-re-opening (cross-fingers) or our pubs and restaurants we start with funny food stories and alcoholic aspects from early days to our ‘Terrible Twenties’ as well as the places and people that bring them to us. Think food and drink are dull? Then you might want to watch out at harvest time according to this ‘old Sussex folk song’, by much-missed Sussexdwelling comic Spike Milligan: “Apples be ripe Nuts be brown Petticoats up Trousers down.” I can’t guarantee that reading The Joy of Sussex may each month will leave you as excited as that but even so, I hope you enjoy this month’s exploration of eating, imbibing and those who help us do so. Let’s all raise a glass, whether it is Wobblegate, Silly Moo, Harvey’s, Greyhound, Dark Star, Wiston, Nyetimber, Upperton’s finest or even just good Sussex milk or water to cheer the good folk of Sussex who toil all year round and have worked hard through the lockdown to put fine Sussex fare on our tables. Earliest Eats and Yesterdrinks Let’s start at the very beginning, as Maria Von Trapp in The Sound Of Music once sung, and focus on our biggest city’s nibbling habits. The earliest Brightonians we know about (of the late Stone Age) were likely to have been cannibals we think due to cooked fragments of skull being found by archaeologists at the camp at Whitehawk. We may worry about the amount of food waste today but more frighteningly, the hill-top dwellers seem to have thrown their dead

bodies out with their rubbish and leftovers. Moving forward in time, wine has been made in Sussex since the Romans and the Normans were able to win the Battle of Hastings partly due to the Saxons having drunk too much booze the night before the battle (whereas the French have never, never been known to drink too much….). Moving into the Industrial Age, with Harvey’s brewery in Lewes we have one of the country’s oldest (and more importantly, still independent and family-run) breweries, with roots dating back to 1790. A Patriotic Pan of British Bacon From the 1790s we now move to the 1990s. Chichester College (then Chichester College of Further Education) were given an unusual method of timing their cooking at the college’s food tech department back in the late 1990s. Mrs Ivy Davey who instructed the students in cooking advised them that the perfect way to time how long bacon needed cooking was to sing ‘God Save The Queen’ whilst it sizzled in the pan. She explained: “It has a running time of about two minutes – just right for each side of a rasher”. That is of course if you (unusually) can remember all the words and are willing to include the anti-Scottish bits later on. Nevertheless, should you too want to cook in a patriotic way then the most suitable recipe book is ‘Cooking the British Way’ by Joan Clibbon. We started with Spike Milligan and we should also end with his words. My favourite food joke of all time has to be from the 1958 Goon Show episode The Man Who Never Was, where Bloodnok, a Chief of Military Intelligence says in an interrogation: “Admit it, you're a spy!” and the Spy replies: “I'm not a shpy [sic], I'm a shepherd!” and so Bloodnok of course replies: “Ahhhhh, Shepherd Spy!” Kevin Newman For ‘Scrumptious Sussex’ talks and motorised tours, please call All-Inclusive History on 07504 863867 or email info@allinclusivehistory.org.

WORKING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC

e’re still here to do the very best we can for patients and families” Dr Cathy Gleeson works at St Catherine's Hospice caring for terminally ill local people on the hospice wards. As restrictions slowly start to ease, she wanted to share a few reflections of what it’s been like caring for people in the community throughout this pandemic. “I was asked how coronavirus has impacted on the care we offer local people at the hospice. And initially I thought about how difficult it’s been, and continues to be, to work from behind a mask, covered in a plastic apron and gloves. It's quieter at the hospice because we haven't got so many people working here at the moment - they're mainly at home – and there's not such a hustle and bustle. We usually have lots of visitors coming and going; complementary therapists and other volunteers, external visitors, PAT [Pets As Therapy] dog, all that sort of thing, and we've had to cut back. But then I thought, actually, that sounds a bit negative, because in so many ways, what we do has stayed exactly the same. We're still admitting people from home, at times when they really need help, care and support. We're allowing them to have visitors, albeit in PPE for their safety, and in terms of what I do, and what our nurses do, really our role is the same. We're still here to listen to people, to try and sort out their problems, and to do the very best we can as doctors and nurses, working with our wider clinical team to support people when they need us. And if I think about the concerns that patients currently have, really, they're very similar to always. Sadly, COVID-19 has added a complicating dimension for many patients and their families in terms of more worries and more tests, but the important things – like someone being comfortable, feeling secure and looked after, and

working out how we can continue to support them and their family to the best we can, that’s all stayed the same. And so even if I feel strange at times, talking from behind a mask and worrying about whether people can hear me and whether they feel that I'm doing my best to be empathic and caring, I know that they do feel that because they tell me. Indeed, sometime we manage to laugh about it all – I was talking to one gentleman, apologising for the strange kit we all had to wear and said that I hoped he could see from my eyes that I was smiling behind the mask – he laughed and winked at me in response. I find these moments hugely reassuring and I hope you will too. We still want to do the best we can to make life as good as it can be for those who have limited time. And it's only through the support and generous donations of all of you out there that we can still manage that. So, I'm hugely grateful to everyone reading who supports us to support others. Thank you.” Your local hospice, St Catherine’s, has seen a severe shortfall in funding due to coronavirus.

RECIPE

FRYING PAN PIZZA Yes really – it’s so good! Preparation time: Rise 2-5 days (yes this takes a little forward preparation but it’s so worth it.) Cooking time: 5 minutes + 35 mins Makes 4 pan-sized pizzas IMPORTANT - You cannot use a non-stick frying pan for this recipe. It has to be a cast iron pan or skillet. fkdobafbkqp

Base 500g Strong white bread flour (But if you have any Italian 00 flour, it’s is even better). 1½ tsp dried active yeast. I did not have this throughout lockdown and used rapid dried yeast instead. I found that the rise time was quicker (2 days vs 4 days) so this might actually be a bonus. 1 tsp table salt 1 tsp sugar Topping 1 400g tin chopped plum tomatoes 1 pack buffalo mozzarella 1 bunch basil Extra-virgin olive oil, to drizzle Plain is great but you can add any toppings you like. We made Pepperoni, ham and sweetcorn, and ham and pineapple. jbqela

ix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar then stir in 325ml water to a smooth dough. Cover and put in the fridge for two to four days. Remember rapid yeast will activate faster and may only require two days, or even one if you’re in more of a hurry. Tip on to a lightly floured surface. Divide into four roughly equal portions, shape into balls, cover and leave for two hours. While the dough is rising take the cheese and toppings out of the fridge so that they come to room temperature. Empty the tomatoes into a saucepan over a medium heat and simmer for about 30 minutes,

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

until they form a thick sauce. Season this to taste with salt and a pinch of sugar. Once the dough has proved, flatten it into pizza bases to fit your pan. For reference my pan has a 26cm base. Heat the cast iron frying pan or skillet over a moderate-high heat. It’s ready when you drop a little water into the base and it instantly hisses and bounces. Preheat the grill to between moderate and high. Lightly flour your hands then stretch the dough into a rough round, keeping the edges a bit thicker. Cook in the pan until the top starts to dry out then add some tomato sauce and mozzarella. Wait a minute before adding any other toppings. Leave in the pan until base begins to char. The first time I chickened out but as I got into the groove the subsequent pizzas were much better. When you’re happy with the bottom switch the pan to under the grill until the cheese bubbles and the edges brown. Finish with a few basil leaves. These really are the next best thing to a pizza from a pizza oven or a proper pizzeria.

BOOK REVIEW

AN A TO Z ATTRACTION TO BRIGHTON Horsham Pages South talks to Sussex author Kevin Newman about his latest book, which he argues we need more than ever in the “Terrible ‘Twenties”.

righton and Hove when combined are Sussex’s largest settlement, and the larger of our county’s two cities, so it is not surprising that readers aren’t exactly short of books Kevin Newman. about the city and its past. So, why do need another book on the ‘Old Ocean’s Bauble’ as Brighton was once described? Lockdown is one reason, according to author of Amberley Publishing’s A-Z of Brighton and Hove, Brighton-born Kevin Newman. “When we were told we could only have one hour’s exercise a day, people that never usually went on walks widely decided they would now take them daily; it was their right. So you now have lots of people who’ve explored bits of Brighton and Hove they never knew existed on walks and want to find out more, and other Sussexians who’ve got the bug for exploring and learning and need inspiration for new walks. Hopefully the book caters for both.” Kevin also quotes the character Flora Poste in Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, who said: “Sussex, when all was said and done, was not like other counties.” “If that is true,” he argues, “then it is equally true that that Brighton and Hove is not like the rest of the county, and so its uniqueness always makes it worthy of another look.” The book is unusual too as it takes the reader on a selective tour of the past of Britain’s premier coastal resort in alphabetical order. A-Z of Brighton and Hove delves into the stories behind the city’s most notable streets, places, parks and buildings, as well as the dark secrets of its inhabitants, lesser-known lanes and twittens, such as Queensbury Mews, home to Brighton’s smallest pub. The book reveals the stories behind

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

some of the more unusual visitors to the city such as Sheena the camel who nearly ruined one of our first ever major conferences. Also here are tales of the town’s lessfamous daughters and sons such as the wonderfullynamed Chief Constable D’eath. “There was no way I could hope to emulate Tim Carder’s wonderful Encyclopaedia of Brighton and its early 21st century successor, but I hope my book provides something for everyone, whether visiting or a citizen of the city.” “There is always more to discover about Brighton and Hove”, says Kevin “and in these ‘terrible ‘twenties’ we need the tonic of reading about such a happy city.” Indeed, the book tells how Brighton was recently voted the most popular British seaside destination on the list of 30 locations people considered ‘happy places’. Beating Padstow in Cornwall, the sandy beaches of the Hebrides, St Ives, and northern rival Blackpool. The book is full of quirky snippets including that more than one in ten people from Brighton said it also was their favourite holiday location, which suggests Brightonians therefore even feel on holiday in the place they live in (or as the book suggests, they’re confused about the concept of a ‘holiday’). The book argues Brighton and Hove is a city of achievements, accomplishments and firsts in times of peace or war. Not all of them are positive, of course. We read that the first man ever to die in

a car crash sadly came from Brighton, that it was also where the first Allied soldier to fire shots in the First World War was from but, more happily, the man who sent the telegram to end that conflict was from Hove.
