Latest news from The Bevy.

[mune ni kamome]

I grew up living in Bevendean Crescent. We called the area Higher Bevendean. We got very uppity if someone called it Moulsecoomb

 

[Godstar]

Having been born & living my first 17 years in Hillside (50yds from the pub in fact) i can tell you i'm from Moulsecoomb, but the pub is sort of on the boundary with Higher Bev *spits nonchalantly*. And, back in the days of only 3 telly channels, my biggest source of entertainment was watching the pub from my bedroom window at closing time
I for one will be popping in there to show support for the scheme, as well as firing up a few old memories

As a resident of the area, I class it as Higher Bevendean.

I would say you are correct, St Andrew's church is in Hillside and that has always been known as St Andrews Moulsecoomb.
When I was a kid I had a friend that lived in Hillside, this was further up the road from the church and not far from the pub, he always said he lived in Bevendean.

I wouldn't say that Moulscoomb station is in Moulsecoomb.

When I worked at ESCC, we were involved in planning and delivering the new station next to what was then Brighton Polytechnic. We were amazed when British Rail announced their intention to call the station Moulsecoomb. If a locality name had to be chosen, it should have been Hollingdean. The only thing you can say in support of Moulsecoomb, is that they did at least manage to spell it right.

Thanks for the replies, it's a bit like the boundary between Hollingbury and Patcham.

...until the train onboard female recorded announcer pronounces it a cringe inducing, 'Moollskooom...' (phonetic attempt(?))

The new assistant manager was the senior barmaid (is it non-PC to use that term these days?) in the Lifestyle Lounge at the Amex from opening until last week. She's very good.
