I remember going in there as a boy in the late 50s with my family from east London when they came to visit. The smell of British beer and crisps is still very evocative and takes me right back.

Spike,reading your recollections of the discos at The Seaview were like being yanked back in time! Yup, I remember all those names - and faces! Mick Rowlands lived in Albion Place (now Millenium Way) which was just a stone's throw away from The Crown (remember folk club in the back room?) .....and a few doors along from The Crown was Gisby's shoe repairs, and who can forget 'Fraud'!?

Remember the seaview in the very early 70s.A chap called Mick Rowlands used to run a disco in an upstairs room.Very wild for its time the local bikers used to turn up{called The Commanches if I remember right}led by a chap called Patch.Me and my mate Mick Hayward used to stagger back to Minster in some fine old states.Ahh the foolishness of youth.

Another of our landmarks which has been demolished, such a pity, no doubt the Victoria Club will be the next victim.
