We lived at 29 Richmond Buildings, with Gates the Builders Merchants on one side, and the Collier family on the other side of us. I had a bedroom up in the attic and can remember as a very small child, watching the house opposite out of my window. A lady lived there, who I thought had many husbands! I went to Sussex Street School and can still remember being made to lay down on camp beds to have a sleep in the afternoons, which I hated. My father (Laurence Roche) was a jobbing builder and would push his wheelbarrow all around Brighton for work. We moved to Twineham Road in Whitehawk in 1958, when our house was condemned but had to return several times to collect our dog Scamp as he kept escaping and returning to where our house used to be. We would find him sitting on a pile of bricks. He did settle in Whitehawk eventually.
