Fantastic Christmas lights
by Jesse, aged 9

I, Father Christmas, love Norwich Drive. Why? Because of the fantastic fairy lights.

Last year I saw a beautiful coloured house that looked like a rainbow from far away. As I flew nearer I saw fairies that glowed different colours. The house was covered with brilliant lights from roof to garden - and since I see everything, this year I have noticed that other families have tried their hardest to be just as fabulous.

It is lovely to see the cheery sight at lots of the houses that I visit. But nothing can beat 'Fieldview' - the house that I have been chatting about.

Gotta say this house really is great. This pic just don't do it justice.

I have got to say that this is my neighbour and what they do to their house is amazing. It takes them a while to put them up and the kids love it. Come and see for yourselfs in December!

This is a fantastic house and a very original decoration. I'm doing a research about Christmas and I really need to know about it - please help me! Can I come for an interview, it is so important to me?

I used to live in ND, and marvel at the totally OTT (which is a good thing!) efforts at this house, and others I have seen. Well done to all. My job takes me around Brighton a lot. Nothing even in Whitehawk, where whole streets go for it, can top this one!

I lived at 126 Norwich Drive from 1954 until I was married in 1969, with my Mum and Dad (who now live in Coronation Street). My memories of Lower Bevendean School and surronding areas are all good ones. We had lots of freedom back then and enjoyed the fields and woods which unfortunately the children of today are unable to do. There was no television; just lots of time to play and enjoy. I now live in Jevington Drive, which is only a short walk away. My husband and I very often take the dog and our three grandsons over the hill between Lower Bevendean and Higher Bevendean and then down to the little park. I hope people realize just how lucky they are to live so near to the Downs and yet not far from the city, and most of all take advantage of just that. When Bevendean School had its 50 year reunion, there were lots of faces that I hadn't seen for quite a while and lots of good memories.

I do not remember seeing these when I lived there (many years ago) - but it's the best set-up of all Brighton!

Just want to say I live a couple of doors down from this house and every year it doesn't let us down! It gets better every year! Stunning!

I lived at 35 Norwich Drive. I moved there from East Moulscoomb about 1953. Bevendean Farm was still in existance then. I remember the workers concreting Norwich Drive and the gorse area further up. The back garden was pretty steep and chalky. Cattle used to graze right up to the wire fence, there was a pond on your left as you walked to Upper Bevendean, it never had any water in it as I recall. There was a very steep bank that over looked the pre-fabs below. As kids we used to slide down it on carboard in summer, even better in winter when snow was on the ground. We used to walk to school in Woodingdean, St John The Baptist.
