Hi Jan, Remember me? I knew Flora when I worked at Downlands in Peacehaven. She came to Stepping Stones and was life and soul of the party! She told us many a tale of days gone by as many of the older folk did. If you want to learn history in the raw work with elderly folk.

I well remember this local lady when I was growing up on Mount Pleasant, as she lived in Beresford Road, as a lad and also when I had reached adulthood. As your previous posting indicates she was always a cheerful soul and I'm sure I like many other locals remember her running round in her maroon 'Morris Traveller', which must have had many miles on the clock as this was a familiar sight over many many years!!

I also remember Flora when I was really little my mum Elsie Ryan used to be a home help at Flora's. I always loved going with her, I sometimes see her around, to me she still looks the same .

Flora doesn't seem to have changed. It was lovely to see that photo and read that she is still around. I seem to remember her sharing her liquorice allsorts with me. I'm pretty sure that she was known as Flora Almond to my mum and dad.

Flora was my aunt, Marie.  Your mum and dad probably knew her as Flora Harman, her maiden name.

I also grew up in Beresford Road and remember fondly Flora in the 70's. Didn't she also ride a bicycle and her little yorkshire terrier would ride in the handlebar basket?
