Spent much of my younger years in Woodingdean when visiting family . Great views in the summer but a nightmare at times in the winter ! I used to stay at roseberry avenue and up at Kiplings avenue and in my youth days i used to hang around the chip shop by the lights ! Good drinking times in the Downs hotel and it is a ok place in my opinion ! Ideal location a bus ride from the City and rotters is just down the road with a few drinking holes and the seafront and of course the AMEX is over the back so location is great !

i know i've been in their house and met him
I just say what I think. This is a site all about debate. If i can't express my views then what's the point of writing this thread. I have'nt racially abused anyone, I have'nt said anything others on here have not said before. Because I'm new this this people seem to think I dont deserve to be on here. Well i do, I give honest answers to questions. Some will like it, some wont. That's just life. Would be a very dull site if everyone agreed with each other.

Not if you saw the house he bought.
I believe but willing to be corrected, but the Woodingdean,rottingdean area is well known in "property circle"for its particularly wide range of properties, both size and value within such a small geographical area. From £180k up to several million with a 1 mile radius.
PS Errol Flynn used to live in Woodingdean and was knocked over by a car outside the petrol statiion on the Falmer Road.
I don't live in Rottingdean so no bias, but their residents (those SOUTH OF of the Eley and Elvin estate), and estate agents would be shocked to see it bracketed with Woodingdean.
Other than Longhill School and the suffix 'dean', they have nothing in common and are separated by countryside.

Originally the Swankers
I don’t think the compiler gave a flying f*** what each of the residents thought,
But it does bear out what the report was saying, (which includes Ovindean) is that for such a small area, whether countryside divided or not, within is a relative small geographical area there are an extra ordinary wide rage of properties which is unique and quite rare in this country.

My area of South West London, Battersea, is similar. When the few council flats north of Clapham Junction that are privately owned go on sale, the owners will practically pay you to take them off you, yet there are houses in the same road as my flat that go for £3 million plus (I assure you my flat is worth considerably less). The contrast here is rather greater. You would probably not be advised to walk along Falcon and Plough Roads at night. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anywhere in Wooders is that bad, is it? What I can't understand though is why Woodingdean, with the amount of council housing it has, has nearly always voted Conservative by large margins, whereas Moulsecoomb, Hollingdean, etc, virtually never do.

Good for you....? I don't see why my personal experience of school would be of any concern to you but each to their own.
would rather live Patcham over woodingdean all day long. Dont get me wrong, theres some nice places in Woodingdean...... like Bexhill Rd

Calm down. You missed the point. There is no woodingdean/rottingdean area. Other than 'dean' and a shared senior school, there isn't a woodindean/rottingdean area, either officially or colloquially.
Separated by countryside, house prices, separate council wards, history.
Is like saying the Hangleton/Hove Park, or Whitehawk/Ovingean area.
Why lazily lump 2 unconnected areas together?
Well said
