Lewes Prison Officers Jailed For Drug Smuggling.
A Brighton “wheeler dealer” and two corrupt prison officers were among 10 people sentenced today the 28th July 2017 for conspiring to smuggle drugs and phones into Lewes Prison.
Daniel Sallis, 31, an unemployed scaffolder, of Bexhill Road, Woodingdean, was jailed for five years. He was a prison inmate at Lewes when he became involved in the smuggling plot.
Daniel Sallis
Sallis used a bank account in his name for receiving and transferring money related to the buying and selling of drugs and other banned items.
Two prison officers Ricky Bridger, 55, of The Oaks, Heathfield, and Simon Taylor, 29, of West Way, Wick, Littlehampton, were jailed for ten and eight years respectively.
They were caught thanks to a sniffer dog called Dougie, Hove Crown Court was told today (Friday 28 July 2017).
Ricky Bridger, Simon Taylor, Darren Burdfield, Simon Penton, Daniel Sallis, Simon Khalil and Dorian Henry were jailed as a result of Operation Bewcastle by detectives from Sussex Police
Sallis’s barrister Richard Hutchings said in mitigation: “It was said in the trial that he was something of a wheeler dealer.
Mr Frymann described serving prison inmates Simon Khalil, 34, and Dorian Henry, 26, as the ringleaders.
They admitted their part in the plot and were were each jailed for three years, as was Simon Penton, 45, who was not present because of ill health and who had pleaded not guilty.
Another inmate, Darren Burdfield, 33, was jailed for five years.
Burdfield’s mother and girlfriend helped handle the profits from the trade in drugs and phones inside the prison.
Sabrina Burdfield, 61, a care assistant, of Redwing Close, Wick, Littlehampton, was given a 12-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months and a four-month curfew.
Darren Burdfield’s heavily pregnant partner Sarah Hall, 32, a care assistant, of Barnet Way, Durrington, was also given a 12-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months and a four-month curfew.
Khalil’s ex-girlfriend Katie Rudd, 26, unemployed, of Park Farm Lane, Maresfield, was given a two-year prison sentence suspended for two years and a six-month curfew.
The jury failed to reach a verdict on whether Dorian Henry’s sister, Danielle Henry, 34, a finance clerk, of Aldred Road, London, was part of the plot. She was ordered to face a retrial and will return to court in September.

East Street, Falmer, East Sussex
Assured flint-walled manor house with eight bedrooms within the South Downs National Park at Falmer.
Incongruously located on Brighton's urban fringe, the flint cottages of Falmer village are juxtaposed with the modern steel structure of the AMEX stadium: A span of more than two hundred years separate these neighbours bestowing a quality of other worldliness to this quintessentially English village. Grade II listed Falmer Court is reached down a winding driveway and is as secluded as it is genteel. With the rolling hills of the South Downs as a backdrop, this home is uniquely placed between town and country.
Henry VIII’s holiday home The Vyne 4K
The Vyne was built for Lord Sandys, Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain.The house retains its Tudor chapel, with stained glass. The classical portico on the north front was added in 1654 by Inigo Jones's pupil John Webb for the lawyer and politician Chaloner Chute. In the mid-eighteenth century The Vyne belonged to Horace Walpole's close friend John Chaloner Chute, who designed the Palladian staircase, whose magnificent apparent scale belies its actual small size.
In 1827, The Vyne was inherited by William Lyde Wiggett Chute from the reverend Thomas Vere Chute.Chute lived there from the death of Elizabeth Chute in 1842, widow of William Chute, until his death in 1879 during which time he greatly improved the estate, particularly the access routes which were known for their poor quality. Horace Walpole had described them in the eighteenth century as so bad that the house must be approached upon stilts.His improvements were recorded in articles that he wrote for the journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England.
The Vyne was bequeathed by its final Chute owner, Sir Charles Chute, to the National Trust in 1956.

Twyfords and Shires from 1969, Undisclosed location, Poole, Dorset
Was out on the prowl and starting to get thirsty for some high levels. Had no idea that I was going to see these today but managed to blag my way in.
These are in a building near Poole Civic Centre built in 1969, sadly I cannot film the outside as filming inside such buildings is against the law in the UK.
There are 4 WCs with original Shires feeding Twyfords pans. Also Twyfords basins and some original taps and slab urinals. Someone comes in while I am filming but doesn't see me but thanks to him I had permission to venture into this building which is on of the grandest buildings from the 60s I have ever seen.

Stanford Hall, Nottinghamshire
For other stately homes named Stanford Hall, see Stanford Hall.
Stanford Hall is a grade II* listed 18th-century English country house in Nottinghamshire, England, in Stanford on Soar just north of Loughborough.
It is constructed in red brick with ashlar dressings, with a hipped slate roof topped with a painted balustrade. It is built in two storeys with a 7 bay frontage.
The manor of Stanford, complete with its stone manor house, was sold in 1661 by the Raynes family to a London alderman, Thomas Lewes. He was succeeded by his grandson Francis Lewis, who was an MP and High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire for 1713–14. The estate then passed to the fourth and last generation of Leweses, Charles Lewes, who died with no heir. After him it passed by marriage to the Dashwood family, of whom the first to occupy the property was Charles Vere Dashwood. He commissioned William Anderson of Loughborough to rebuild the house in brick between 1771 and 1774. It then descended in the Dashwood family to Charles Lewes Dashwood, who sold in 1887 by Richard Ratcliff, a brewer from Burton-on-Trent.
Ratcliff employed the local architect W.H. Fletcher to make substantial changes to the house, which included building new 2 storey wings flanking the main block and a new service wing. It passed on his death in 1898 to his son, also Richard, By 1928 the owner was Richard Snr.'s granddaughter Kathleen, who had married Lawrence Kimball.
In 1928 Sir Julien Cahn purchased the Hall from the Kimballs for £70,000.
Here Cahn built himself a cricket pitch, nine-hole golf course, bowling green, large trout lake, sea lion pool, lido, tennis court and thatched pavilion, an enormous outdoor heated swimming pool with coral walls holding fountains and artificial caves added to the fantastic wooded parkland and formal gardens.
The largest addition was a theatre designed by Cecil Aubrey Masey built in 1937 for £73,000 which seated 352 people. The walls were decorated with murals by Beatrice MacDermott. It comprised a raked auditorium, orchestra pit and Wurlitzer organ which can be raised and lowered during performances. The organ was made for ThéAtre de la Madeleine, Paris. It was purchased by Sir Julien Cahn for £20,000 and enlarged when it was installed.
The house was extensively remodelled over the next decade under the direction of Sir Charles Allom, principal of arguably the finest of the large interior decorating concerns, White Allom Ltd. Together with Queen Mary, Sir Charles advised on the redecoration of Buckingham Palace and had many multi-millionaire clients, such as Henry Clay Frick, whose Fifth Avenue town house now houses the Frick Collection and whose decoration by White Allom is highly regarded. The same is true of Stanford Hall.
Stanford Hall retains most of the superb interior structures and installations of Cahn's day, though most of the art moderne marble bathrooms were removed in the 1960s. The furnishings selected with Sir Charles Allom were of the highest quality. The inclusion of many fine antiques, and the theming of the rooms by date and country gave the impression of a house that had evolved over time. By 1940 it was one of the finest and most luxurious of small country houses in the United Kingdom. Cahn died in the White Allom panelled library in 1944, when part of the house was being used for the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers.
In 1941 a Blenheim bomber crashed onto the cricket pitch in foggy conditions; no one died in the incident.
The hall was purchased for £54,000 in 1945, by the Co-operative Union to house its Co-operative College.
The Co-operative College relocated to Holyoake House in Manchester in 2001 and sold Stanford Hall to Raynsway Properties, who planned to convert it into luxury apartments and also build a 147 Bedroom hotel in the grounds.

Langshott Manor Hotel & Tanyard Barn Update (Re - Edited)
This is a Re-edited Video (Re-issued because of a previous youtube software copyright claim on a small amount of music playing on a builders radio at the Tanyard Barn location) Filmed on the same day as my recent local High Street tour, i stopped by to check on the progress on The Acres redevelopment of Tanyard Barn, an explore i did in early October 2014, this old barn used to be part of the nearby Tanyard Farm which was a tannery that existed in the late 18th century. I have often walked past the exclusive Langshott Manor, now a luxury hotel & wondered what it looked like, so i decided to take a quick look around the outside & it's beautiful superbly kept gardens, & after a quick explanation to a very smartly dressed & friendly manager, as was the gardener & the plump of ducks, i was given the green light to take a look around & get a few images, including their sample menu by the hotels driveway entrance sign. 5*****
History:
The Manor House is a timber-framed, central-chimneyed House of Tudor origins, circa 1580.
The oldest part of the building is where the Hever bedroom and St Peter’s Dining Room are situated on the ground floor. In the 17th Century Bodiam, Arundel, Lewes, Windsor, the Lounge and the Morning Room were added. In early Victorian times the outer Entrance Hall, the large Inner Hall and Staircase, the Gallery, Leeds and the four-poster room above Scotney bedroom were built on over the servants’ quarters and pantries, which were part of the original house dating back to 1580.
The site of the Manor was once moated, hence today’s ponds. It is believed that a much earlier house occupied the site before the present Manor was built 400 years ago. Certainly many second-hand timbers were used in its construction and these were uncovered, during restoration work, when they were found to be as sound today as they would have been then.
In 1669, during the reign of King Charles II, Richard Evelyn (brother of the famous diarist John Evelyn) and his wife Elizabeth, who was the daughter, and heiress of George Minne of Epsom, held the land as a Manor.
They had four sons and one daughter but all four sons died in infancy. The daughter, Anne, married William Montague, son of Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, but she died childless. It was during this time that the East Wing of the house was built and there is a stone over the inglenook in the dining room that probably commemorates this.
On Anne’s death the house then passed to the Montague family, seemingly on Elizabeth’s decision, much to John Evelyn’s disgust.
Soon after this the property passed into the hands of a family called Barnes. William Barnes of Horley married Sarah Bridges who, having outlived her husband, bequeathed the estate on her death to her nephew, Alexander Bridges, in 1733. It is with this family that Langshott remained until 1921.
This century, Langshott has been the home of Lord Montague of Brandon, 6th Baron and then of Major Jennings who filled the house with six little boy evacuees from the East End during the Second World War. We have had visits from two of them, now in their sixties and what stories they had to tell!!
The British Coal Board - Sir Derek Ezra - owned the property from 1955 - 1975 and then the major part of the park, meadows, pastures and woods were sold to a developer. This wonderful house was then forgotten, neglected and unloved for a number of years, until the Noble family came in.
The Nobles bought the house and three acres of land in September 1986 at auction, and then proceeded to give it constant and ceaseless loving care for eleven years. During this time they had the great pleasure of watching the old Manor come back to life again. The Manor has such a tremendous welcoming warmth, entwined with charm and character, with a lot of living and giving still to do
The Hinchcliffes bought the house in October 1997 and since have embarked on a refurbishment programme that has seen a transformation of the Manor and gardens with the building of a new restaurant, and most recently, an additional wing which houses a further 7 bedrooms....Enjoy!

SUMMARY
=======
Brighton () is a seaside resort in the county of East Sussex. It is a constituent part of the city of Brighton and Hove, created in 2001 from the formerly separate towns of Brighton and Hove. Brighton is located on the south coast of England, positioned 47 miles (76 km) south of London.Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The ancient settlement of Brighthelmstone was documented in the Domesday Book (1086). The town's importance grew in the Middle Ages as the Old Town developed, but it languished in the early modern period, affected by foreign attacks, storms, a suffering economy and a declining population. Brighton began to attract more visitors following improved road transport to London and becoming a boarding point for boats travelling to France. The town also developed in popularity as a health resort for sea bathing as a purported cure for illnesses.
In the Georgian era, Brighton developed as a fashionable seaside resort, encouraged by the patronage of the Prince Regent, later King George IV, who spent much time in the town and constructed the Royal Pavilion in the Regency era. Brighton continued to grow as a major centre of tourism following the arrival of the railways in 1841, becoming a popular destination for day-trippers from London. Many of the major attractions were built in the Victorian era, including the Metropole Hotel (now Hilton) Grand Hotel, the West Pier, and the Brighton Palace Pier. The town continued to grow into the 20th century, expanding to incorporate more areas into the town's boundaries before joining the town of Hove to form the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove in 1997, which was granted city status in 2000. Today, Brighton and Hove district has a resident population of about 290,395 and the wider Brighton and Hove conurbation has a population of 474,485 (2011 census).Brighton's location has made it a popular destination for tourists, renowned for its diverse communities, quirky shopping areas, large cultural, music and arts scene and its large LGBT population, leading to its recognition as the unofficial gay capital of the UK. Brighton attracted 7.5 million day visitors in 2015/16 and 4.9 million overnight visitors, and is the most popular seaside destination in the UK for overseas tourists. Brighton has also been called the UK's hippest city, and the happiest place to live in the UK.

A meandering brick path planeted with seasonal perennials, native plants and shrubs provide year round interest and low maintenance. An architecturally accurate recreation of a period building serves as a garden shed.
NEW CASTLE HISTORY
New Castle was originally settled by the Dutch West India Company in 1651, under the leadership of Peter Stuyvesant. Originally named Fort Casimir, in 1654, the Swedes renamed it Fort Trinity. In 1655, the Dutch reconquered New Sweden and rechristened the fort Nieuw-Amstel (New Amstel). The Dutch expanded the settlement and designed a grid of streets. In 1655, The Green or Market Plaine was laid out by Dutch Governor Petrus Stuyvesant. It remains one of the oldest Commons in America.
In the mid-1600s, King Charles II had borrowed money to rebuild England's navy from Admiral William Penn. After the Admiral's death, the King granted a significant portion of his American land – what is now Delaware and Pennsylvania - to the young William Penn to clear the debt. In October 1682, William Penn landed in New Castle with 100 fellow Quakers to establish a colony based on religious freedom. He later moved up the river to found Philadelphia.
On the southern edge of the Common is the New Castle Court House. Built in 1732, it served as the meeting place for Delaware’s colonial assembly from 1732 to 1777 when New Castle was Delaware’s capital. Prior to the establishment of Penn's Philadelphia, New Castle was the center of government. Delaware formally broke from Pennsylvania in 1704.
Two signers of the Declaration of Independence were from New Castle — Thomas McKean and George Read. The Courthouse and Sheriff's house were recently designated as part of the Delaware National Monument.

Delaware: Dover
Dover is the capital and second-largest city in the U.S. state of Delaware. It is also the county seat of Kent County, and the principal city of the Dover, DE Metropolitan Statistical Area, which encompasses all of Kent County and is part of the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Camden, PA-NJ-DE-MD Combined Statistical Area. It is located on the St. Jones River in the Delaware River coastal plain. It was named by William Penn for Dover in Kent, England. As of 2010, the city had a population of 36,047.
First recorded in its Latinised form of Portus Dubris, the name derives from the Brythonic word for waters (dwfr in Middle Welsh). The same element is present in the towns French (Douvres) and Modern Welsh (Dofr) forms. The city is named after Dover, Kent in England.
Dover was founded as the court town for newly established Kent County in 1683 by William Penn, the proprietor of the territory generally known as the Lower Counties on the Delaware. Later, in 1717, the city was officially laid out by a special commission of the Delaware General Assembly. The capital of the state of Delaware was moved here from New Castle in 1777 because of its central location and relative safety from British raiders on the Delaware River. Because of an act passed in October 1779, the assembly elected to meet at any place in the state they saw fit, meeting successively in Wilmington, Lewes, Dover, New Castle, and Lewes again, until it finally settled down permanently in Dover in October 1781. The city's central square, known as The Green, was the location of many rallies, troop reviews, and other patriotic events. To this day, The Green remains the heart of Dover's historic district and is the location of the Delaware Supreme Court and the Kent County Courthouse.
Dover was most famously the home of Caesar Rodney, the popular wartime leader of Delaware during the American Revolution. He is known to have been buried outside Dover, but the precise location of his grave is unknown. A cenotaph in his honor is erected in the cemetery of the Christ Episcopal Church near The Green in Dover.
Dover and Kent County were deeply divided over the issue of slavery, and the city was a stop on the Underground Railroad because of its proximity to slave-holding Maryland and free Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It was also home to a large Quaker community that encouraged a sustained emancipation effort in the early 19th century. There were very few slaves in the area, but the institution was supported, if not practiced, by a small majority, who saw to its continuation.
The Bradford-Loockerman House, Building 1301, Dover Air Force Base, John Bullen House, Carey Farm Site, Christ Church, Delaware State Museum Buildings, John Dickinson House, Dover Green Historic District, Eden Hill, Delaware Governor's Mansion, Greenwold, Hughes-Willis Site, Loockerman Hall, Macomb Farm, Mifflin-Marim Agricultural Complex, Old Statehouse, Palmer Home, Town Point, Tyn Head Court, and Victorian Dover Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 22.7 square miles (59 km2), of which 22.4 square miles (58 km2) is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2), or 1.32%, is water.
Eastbourne
Eastbourne ( pronunciation ) is a large town, seaside resort, and borough in East Sussex, on the south coast of England, 17 miles (27 km) east of Brighton. Eastbourne is located immediately east of Beachy Head, the highest chalk sea cliff in Great Britain and part of the South Downs National Park. With a seafront consisting largely of Victorian hotels, the pier, and a Napoleonic era fort and military museum, Eastbourne was developed by the Duke of Devonshire in 1800 from four separate hamlets. It has a growing population, a broad economic base, and is home to companies in a wide range of industries.
Though Eastbourne is a relatively new town, there is evidence of human occupation in the area from the Stone Age. The town grew as a fashionable tourist resort largely thanks to prominent landowner, William Cavendish, later known as the Duke of Devonshire. Cavendish appointed architect Henry Currey to design a street plan for the town, but not before sending him to Europe to draw inspiration. The resulting mix of architecture is typically Victorian and remains a key feature of Eastbourne.

The 170,000 sq ft extension - costing around £85 million - will see 22 new retail units being added, as well as seven restaurants, a multiscreen cinema and around 300 additional parking spaces.
If you’re looking for entertainment, Eastbourne has it all. The town’s bandstand is where you can experience beautiful classical music, or, if you’re a fan of Shakespeare, you can enjoy outdoor performances in the Italian Gardens. Theatre-goers currently have three venues to choose from - the Devonshire Park Theatre, Winter Garden and The Royal Hippodrome Theatre. Each have a packed calendar of plays, comedy acts, children’s shows and live music throughout the year, while a fourth theatre - the Congress - is undergoing a full £44 million renovation, which is due to be completed by Spring 2019. This project, along with the refurbishment of the Arndale Centre, is an important and significant investment in the area, and will be a huge attraction to both visitors and residents.
There are plenty of events to enjoy throughout the year too. Petrol heads will love the Magnificent Motors car show in May. Head to the beach in July for the Beach Life Festival, one of the largest - and free - extreme sports festivals in the country. For plane enthusiasts, the Eastbourne Airshow - ‘Airbourne’ - is held over four days in August. And if you like a pint or two, the Eastbourne Beer Festival is held every October.
