We lived in the Downs Cafe from 1966-1968 and it was extremely haunted-many things happened. We also used to get many naughty "Borstal Boys" in for a breakfast. I was a child at the time and remember being told the cafe was built on a Roman burial ground, can anybody confirm this to be true?

In the 50s I would get a number 44 trolley bus from Arundel Road to the top of Elm Grove, wait outside the Down's Cafe to get the number 2 or 2a bus to Fitzherbert school in Woodingdean in the morning, and in the afternoon after school I would wait for the number 44 trolleybus outside the Down's Cafe to take me home. The cafe also sold sweets and sticky buns. Drivers and conductors would get their tea cans filled here and take their tea breaks sitting in the bus.

Can we hear more of the strange happenings please? I lived in that area as a child; know it well.
