looks nothing like my local town of lewes in sussex county (settled by the swedes in the 1600s), but very pretty nonetheless.

I applaud your sense of Feng Shui, sir! Nice set of pictures, too. I especially like that one of the backlit pampas grass or whatever it is. Nicely done, Dave. And cheers!

 

[Dave Farnes]

Thank you for the comments, much apperciated. Yes, that is pampas grass Brian. This Lewes is a biit older Beth, first settled around 470 AD by the South Saxons, hence Sussex.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

So you moved in next door to the brewery Dave, beat Brian to it I guess a fine series it is!

 

[Dave Farnes]

Thank you Ivar. Not my house, but I will happily sink a few pints of Harveys Best.

I've been to a town called Lewis, somewhere between London and Brighton - ish. Would that be the same place? It has a castle too. Could be. I don't recognise it from the (rather excellent) photos. There's a small community of guitar makers there, hence my visit.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Yes, that would be the place, only one Lewes in the south, it is about 8 miles to the east of Brighton. Has a castle and I saw a couple of shops that made guitars / violins. Glad you liked the photos.

 

[Pete Askew]

It is years since I was last in Lewes - I must go back. What a super collection, Dave. I like them all, but especially the detail of the brickwork.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Thank you Pete. Despite passing through it on the train fairly often, it was years since I had looked round it too.
