This is about five minutes walk from Lewes Railway Station, walking away from the centre of town…read more Mostly flat walking too, which is useful for crutches or wheelchairs. Its not actually on Mountfield Road, its down a little access road, on the very open, very pleasant ground floor of a purpose built building. Its a Jobcentre *Plus*, which means it has a full range of services, including phones, a computer search system for jobs, help with benefits., all sorts of things. The help is patchy, to be honest. I was experimenting with the computer search facility, and looking for local jobs - the computer came up with one in Chatham in Kent. From Lewes, in East Sussex? Thats not really local. And one computer terminal was out of order. There are a series of phones in semi-private booths, which can be used to contact firms advertising job positions. That feels like you can be trusted, a pleasant feeling. I should say thats a normal feature of Jobcentre Plus. What is local, of course, is the staff, and staff at this Jobcentre are very helpful, very friendly, and willing to interrupt what they're doing to help you, which I've found without exception on a couple of visits.

Lewes reminds me of a cove, or a beach, where the detritus of ages seems to wash up and collect…read morelike driftwood into the numerous antique shops/flea markets/dress agencies/second hand book shops, and so forth. It seems like no one in Lewes ever throws anything away, they just covet it until it gets old enough and then they put it up for sale. The Lewes Flea Market has a similar feel to the Church Hill Antiques centre; set in a building that looks like it may once have been a chapel or something, there are rows and rows of stalls selling small antiques and retro bits and pieces. I'd say that overall the stuff in the Lewes Flea Market a bit more 'junky' than the stuff in Church Hill Antiques, although I mean that in a nice way. They jewellery seems to be, overall, slightly lower quality, and there are more bits of toot, like plastic ornaments and so forth. However, it is huge - there are two floors, and lots of little nooks and crannies. You walk past a corridor lined with books in order to get to a room round the back with large objects and furniture in it, which has two old bicycles strung up from the ceiling. It's very interesting to have a ferret about it. The proliferation of shops like this mean you could very easily live your entire life in Lewes never buying anything new.
