Depends which part you're talking about but regardless it's a nice place to live

I spent the first eight years of my life there back in the 70s and I have to say that both then and now it is neither posh nor council as it has some nice houses overlooking St Helens Green, but most of the area consists of bungalow land and suburban semis.

If anything the council element seems to be more troublesome now than it was in my days there, so in my eyes it is less attractive to live in than it used to be.

I suppose it's like most areas in that it is just a run-of-the-mill place to live (not posh at all - very much like the Preston Drove and Seven Dials areas). It isn't anything to cream yourself over.

It's a council tip

 

[dougdeep]

'Angleten innit?

 

[driller]

about as council as it gets

ever seen the kids and their ape parents going to west blatch

 

[Collar Feeler]

Which is quite amusing since the thread starter grew up directly opposite west Blatch

Working across all the estates in the city as I do I have to say that Hangleton is one of the least troublesome. Compared to Whitehawk, Moulscoomb or anywhere in East Brighton including Woodingdean (where you need 6 toes or webbed feet to live) its like Knightsbridge. I grew up and worked in Hangleton for the last 40 years so I guess I'm biased but I can't imagine doing my job and living in the same area in some of the other parts of Brighton.

Everywhere on the wrong side of the South Downs is shit. When the tides rise and the waters come in, you're all f***ed. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'd say its just an average family suburb really

some poor bits of it, some rich bits, but mostly just in the middle

Hangleton is where TRUE supporters and people of CLASS like me and HB&B come from

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Hangleton is where TRUE supporters and people of CLASS like me and HB&B come from

ME also.

 

[JJ McClure]

Both clearly. Crappy council bit on the hill and nicer hangleton valley type bit as well.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I am from Hangleton, middle class if you ask me but my wife reckons pure council.

Too many fuckin snobs on here, Hangleton's part of the great city of Brighton and Hove, I spent the first 10 years of my life in Birdham Rd (Moulsecoombe) and at least there was a sense of community and we spoke to each other, (when was the last time you had a proper conversation with one of your neighbours?)
OK some areas are nicer to live in (better views/ less youngsters hanging around on street corners etc.) i just wonder why it is so fair game to slag off the places other Brightonians live?

Its called cheap Humour, some comedians steer away from it as its seen as too easy, Mr Garoghan has made a career out of it

It is hard not to smile at some of these dittys and yes Moulescoombe probably has a much better community spirt than Patcham.

Don't get me wrong, Like most Brightonians i'm a big fan of Terry Garroghan,

i didn't mean it like that anyway, Cheap humour's fine but sometimes on here it's

pure venom when describing someone elses residential area of Brighton and Hove
