Good morning Ray
Congratulations on your website - certainly a blast from the past for some of us.
I lived in North Lancing from 1945 until around 1950, then moved to Tower Road until I joined the navy in 1958, so I spent most of my formative years in Lancing. Sadly I don't have any family ties there now except for a few cousins (surname Scott). I have lived here in east Scotland for more than 50 years.
I enjoyed the article by Alan Marshall, when I realised that he was a pal of mine when we were at Worthing High School - he lived a short distance from our house in Tower road.
Would you mind passing this on to Alan? If he remembers me he could drop me a line.
Keep up the good work
kind regards
Scott Jackson
I am wondering if anyone knew the Youngs from 31 Wembley Road Lancing. They would have lived there in the 40's and 50's. They were Florence and Percy Young.
Cindy, if you're a facebook user. There is Landing History. A group formed by Lin Wake. Post your question there :-)
