Henry James Holman and George Ambrose Wallis from the Village ?

Dear Sirs,
My grandfathers, Henry James Holman and George Ambrose Wallis, were both associated with Meads village as well as other areas of Eastbourne (Henry Holman was a well known GP who lived first in Denton Road and then in Beachy Head Road and drove one of the first cars in the town, and George Ambrose Wallis was first mayor of Eastbourne).
I am trying to find out more about their association with the farm cottages in the original Meads village; as a child I was taken to visit tenants, and I know the family still owned several of the dwellings as recently as the 1960. Any information would be gratefully received.

Sincerely, Rosemary Rushton
(nee Holman)

Fixing CO2
Caring for the environment.

The carbon footprint to run the Meads website is very small.
In order to compensate for this footprint Meads Digital Arts donated to the Woodland Trust in 2006 and 2007 for the planting of trees in East Sussex woodland.
Sufficient trees have now been planted by MDA for the gradual removal of 4 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. A tiny but positive action.
All MDA websites are green and doing their bit for the environment and the East Sussex countryside.
MDA thanks all its Clients who have made this possible.
Further plantings are planned for 2008.

Hector


Hector is home!
Found under floorboards in a house in Denton Road!
A neighbour knocked and we went and collected. Hector is a bit thin but generally fine.
Many thanks for your support


A beloved pet has gone missing form the The Village, Meads areas of Eastbourne.
Hector, who is micro-chipped, is a 2 year old neutered male, short haired domestic breed, small build, tabby in colour but with a distinctive white patch under his chin.
Hector is extremely friendly and nosey so he could be locked in a shed or garage or some kind soul has taken him in.
Please call 643869 with any details as his owners and brother are extremely anxious.
Hector is on the right, pictured with his brother.

Meynell Games
The Project Vehicle is going to be parked on Beachy Head Road over the Christmas break.

Meynell Games is an organisation committed to creating better play opportunities for children and young people. Established in 1985, our experience within the Playwork sector ranges from small local work to large national projects and has involved setting up and facilitating varying play environments with our own team of playworkers (Holiday Club/After School Club/Games sessions at festivals/fetes) through to Playwork training, publications, development work and consultancy.
One of our projects is known as the 'Hampshire Project' and its aim is to
To increase the awareness of play in the Playwork context
To support access to Playwork training
To support the improvement of the quality of Playwork provision
To enhance children's lives and opportunities
To reach "hard to reach" parts of the playwork sector across the county
Designed to meet the particular needs of this project, the vehicle is an ex mobile library 36 feet long, 12 feet 8 inches high and 8 feet 6 inches wide. It contains a classroom space, a resource centre, additional seating area, kitchen and toilet and all areas are fully accessible. All the materials used in the construction have been selected not only for their quality and comfort, but also with ecological soundness in mind. The aim is to create a space in which people feel welcome, valued, relaxed and willing and able to reflect and learn.
The Project Vehicle is going to be parked on Beachy Head Road over the Christmas break whilst we set it up ready to go into the various settings across Hampshire. You are, of course, welcome to come and visit it! Thank you for patience and I hope this does not overly inconvenience you.

A HOUSE IN DENTON ROAD ?

Dear Sir.
I am trying to find out about a property as part of my research into a family called the Walker-Munro's, Mabel Walker-Munro rented a house in Denton Road which looks like "Cloneevin" this was proberbly about the 1920's-1930's, I think the property was owned by the Furlong family, I know it would have been a fair sized property as she always took her own cooks, cleaners and maids etc, do you know anything about this property?

I may have the name slightly wrong as I have read it from a hand written letter and is not that clear.

Can anybody there shed any light on this property at Denton Road Denton Meads. I THINK THAT mabel also worked or supported a war hospital in Eastbourne, any help with this as well would be great.

Many thanks in advance

Hello

Recently I moved from London to Kenton Court situated at 45/47 Jevington Gardens opposite the side entrance of the Grand Hotel.
Can you suggest where I can find out why this small section of Jevington Gardens has 'newish' property (probably 1960 -1980s) instead of the traditional style common in this area? I wonder if this part of the street suffered bomb damage during the second world war.
As the current residents of the block are mainly young and from Eastern Europe, obviously they cannot help so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Catherine

Looking for a two bedroom flat in the Meads
Hi All,
My name is Natalie, I am 22 years old and currently live with my partner Oliver in Eastbourne town. I work in London as an Accounts exec. for an ad agency and Oliver works as a chef just outside of Eastbourne.

We are clean, quiet, friendly and tidy and are looking for a two bedroom flat in the Meads area as our existing flat is feeling a little bit small now that I have taken over half of the living room as a study! If you know of anything your suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

Badminton Group.
Dear sir/madam,
My wife and I hope to be residents of the Meads locality by the end of June if our flat purchase goes to plan. We are trying to put into place activities that will help us to get into circulation with the local community. We are not sure what pursuits are out there for us within your locality. We are Seniors and are looking for contact groups of similar age.
One of the groups we are hoping to track down is a badminton group. Any pointers from any kind soul would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in anticipation, whoever.
