A talk about the history of the town’s former department stores takes place at Eastbourne Heritage Centre on Thursday 5th September. Are You Being Served? – the history of Eastbourne’s department stores is a fascinating talk by Paul Jordan who passionately talks about Bobbys, Dale & Kerley, Plummer Roddis, and Beales.

He describes a time when real service and quality was paramount, and how customers enjoyed taking lunch and tea whilst listening to the orchestras in the stores restaurants.

The talk starts at 7pm, and doors open at 6pm for the opportunity beforehand to see the Heritage Centre exhibition Are You Being Served?
