Eastbourne, East Sussex UK

---

Hello all, here's some pics from Eastbourne, lots of zimmer frames and little old ladies. ;-) Just kidding, it was very nice, Carols' friend Keith, who lives in Eastbourne, was our tour guide for the day. We caught the train from Lancing, changed at Brighton, trains that is. ;-) On the pier there is a camera obscura, built in the late 1800's and it's still working, amazing. We had a fish and chip lunch with a lager, or was it two, on the pier as well. Enjoy the pics, Bye. :-)

Moving on to Goring, there is a Catholic church there, i'ts ceiling is a 2/3rds replica of the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City. I was luck to meet the artist, he just happened to be there. Who would have thought it!

A Thank-you Note!
A nostalgic look at my home town + Eastbourne: been in Camden Town, London for years - so it was good to drop in for a visit via the Net. Nice pictures - thanks. Sheila
