The Sackville Hotel, erected on Hove Seafront in 1902 by men proud of their craft and destroyed by bodgers two years ago. The poet and flagellant Waitrose loved this place. He wrote:

Southdown Coaches were the preferred method of travel by the poet Waitrose in the nineteen fifties. He wrote:
When Jane and I travel by Southdown,
The driver don't mind if she just wears her nightgown.
