Pagham

A Memory of Pagham.

I remember the 'Clarks' mentioned by Sue, the sons' names were Robert and Keith. Keith being the oldest. I don't recall the bell though. I lived in Lion Road, Nyetimber, from about '58 till about '78 ish, my parents still live there, they were heavily involved in the early days of the Pagham Pram Race along with Dickie Lewis [landlord of the Lamb], Derek Bell, Frank Fox  who lived in Millstone Cottage next to Pagham church] and many others. Back in those days Derek Bell used the old garage next to church farm in his early days. I remember the old mill, Nyetimber burning down, the tithe barn club on the Aldwick Bay estate and the security people who manned the barriers. So many lovely memories of long hot summer holidays playing on the sand dunes that are now housing estates, unfortunately. We used to play in the sunken tennis courts and I remember a family called Quinnell who lived in one of the carriages, one of the bros' was called Richard.
