Let's move to Hove......Brighton’s more affordable neighbour

Saltdean is a village isn't it?

I do a fair bit of work in Saltdean and have done for about 15 years, not one of my customers has ever mentioned Saltean being a village.
One of my lads played football for Saltdean ( kids team ) never heard anyone mention village.

Good question really, is Saltdean a village, a small town or a suburb of Brighton?

Aren't all the Deans/Denes urban appendages?

• Rotting
• West
• Oving
• With
• Salt
• Wooding

I have to say central Hove is the winner for me. Near the beach, friendly locals. Lots of nice pubs, eateries, coffee shops and not too many tourists or drunks

Plus loads of Guardian readers according to [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION]. It's got it all.

I'm sure Rottingdean and Ovingdean are known as villages. Or are villages.
I have always known Woodingdean as part of Brighton, but I have heard it called a village.

How times change as during my young days Hove was always the expensive propertty area and where the money was.

Great place but I flit between the urban jungle of central Hove to the arse end of Hove, or WeHo as a twunt may call it.
Uwe Hunemeir has just moved in next door to my friends just a couple of houses up from Polly Sansom and Dave Gilmour the weak link in Pink Floyd.

 

[Triggaaar]

I like it.

Seaford is the new Hove. Very gentil, a prom that is not anything other than a promenade, and Broad Street that was George Street yonks ago. Boring? Maybe, but Quality.

PS. It's cheaper housing wise too.

Disagree about Broad Street/ George Street.
Broad Street Seaford has lots of charity shops and coffee shops, I'm sure George St wasn't like that many years ago.

I used to live on Osborne Villas so I know that area well.

I was no 6 two up from the Sussex pub but will be flitting back to our cottage next year in the Twitten running from The Neptune to Marocco's. Another glass of prosecco my socialist comrade?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

This is why Sussex people working in their 20's and 30's will never be able to afford to live in Brighton. Bloody Londeners!

we can afford to LIVE in Brighton.

we just can't afford to BUY in Brighton.

I just looked up the definition of a village and its bigger than a hamlet but not as big as a town. Saltdean seems to fit this. And Wikipedia (yes, I know) also says it's a village.

surely it's just a suburb?

I looked at one of the houses down that end, 8 I think, but it was needing too much refurb and I ended up with one of the narrower ones at the other end. I moved in 2005 and left 2012... you probably saw me run past. I obviously know the twitten; should I move back I'll join you for a drink or an ice cream.

No, they're long chalkland valleys. Coombes being short ones.

i was there too, moons ago. 15 i believe, great place to live

Spot on, etymologically speaking ... I was pithily/ambiguously/unsuccessfully suggesting that all these denes were nothing much more than extensions of the B&H conurbation. Rottingdean I grant you was a poorly-conceived attempt at argumentum ab absurdam. ... blah blah bleurrrgghh

... just goes to show it's better not to go near NSC on a cocktail of painkillers and tranquilisers.

I'll now go back to my regular 200 posts a decade and leave you in peace ...

Affordable

Some absolute comedians working at the Guardian these days.

What about Patch, was that a long valley on a bit of wasteland?
