Robert Stuart Nemeth: The man with a keen eye on our area’s architecture

What has St. Leonards lost which Brighton, Eastbourne, Worthing, Bognor, Hastings and Littlehampton each still has? Clue: Brighton had three and now has one and a bit. I’m talking about piers of course. Sussex can’t claim to have had the first pier (that’s Ryde Pier on the Isle of Wight) but it probably did have the first to be used as a fashionable promenade (Brighton’s Royal Chain Pier).

And It‘s gotta be bad if I am staying in on my monthly weekend off without child. I’d hoped it was swine flu – you know, get it out the way before the winter comes and the anti-viral drugs have run out.
