If you asked me to name some of the Sussex towns that I have bill collections for , I would say , Bognor , Worthing , Brighton , Eastbourne and Hastings , all coastal towns , and in no way in the same district as Hastings or Eastbourne , I now find Bexhill on Sea. Quite often with the Nooks and Crannies , Joint can be missing , maybe too small a town or venue , but actually this venue could seat maybe up to 1500.
An early Doctor Death 1960 and those Barnsley Boys headlining in 1961
Fast forwards a few years and 1965 are all familiar. Golden years when wrestling wriggled it's way in almost everywhere. Being a Northern Boy I never took a holiday down there , closest I came was Newhaven. Can anyone tell us more about Bexhill.
Good when topics resurface.
Just rereading Hack's comment that Ricky Silver was one of the Winters, Winshaw clan.
I saw Ricky Silver wrestle about 1973 on DM bills. I was just convinced that here was another newbie on his way up. I had no idea of what a pedigree he had already. We just knew nothing about these Southern independants. It was as if they lurked almost illegally like unlicensed boxing at the time.
What a victim of the propaganda of The Wrestler and Kent Walton I was!
