I also lived in Twineham Road during the 50s - late 60s and I'm quite sure there was a Parker family that lived about three doors away from where I lived at number 5. I can remember they had a really lovely Irish Wolfhound which I think was a grey colour. I'm afraid I really only noticed people by their animals in those days for some reason!!

I lived in both Fletching and Twineham Road, from 1954 to about 1965 but my parents lived their with my sister for much longer.

My husband Trevor was born at 39 Twineham Road in 1938,
family name is Collins. They moved to Coleman Street after a while, however his grandfather Charles Collins lived in Whitehawk for a long time. Believe he was a bookie, and heard he started a movie theatre in the area at some stage.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this as we are doing family research. Thanks

I was born in 1943 in Brighton and lived at 20 Twineham Road during the 40's and 50's and then came to the USA in 1963. The Parkers lived across the road from me. I remember Valerie, and Freddie and the youngest boy was David. Freddie I believe married Winnie Longhurst who lived two doors up from him and I think they may have moved into a house in Fletching Road. As I recall 18 Twineham was the Redmans, 16 the Banisters, 14 the Nobles, 12 the Needhams and I can't remember anyone below that. Across the street were the Mardens, Chandlers, Parkers, Gandy's, Testers, Longhursts, Cobbs, Clarks and the Pages lived on the corner of Twineham and Lintott Ave. and St. Cuthmans Church was across the street from them. After my two brothers and I got married my Mom and Dad were asked to move and give up our house for a younger family. They moved to new council flats built in 1965 on Warwick Mount, Kemp Town.
