Snow on the Bomb House

Posted on Sunday 29th September 2013

Fulking residents see it every day as they look up at the Downs. But what is it? When was it built? Why is it in that location? Is it a relic of the Napoleonic wars? Was it once a semaphore station? A camera obscura? Did it play a role in James Hubbard’s Victorian recreation complex on the Dyke? Why is it called “the bomb house”? Did it ever have a roof? Why is it half full of earth? Why are several walls damaged? Is Canada to blame?

You’ll find out the answers to these questions, and many others, if you attend Martin Snow’s talk The Devil’s Dyke — Pleasure Ground to Bombing Ground at the Beeding & Bramber Local History Society meeting at 7:45pm on Wednesday 2nd October in the Village Hall, Upper Beeding.

Boycee

Boycee is a charming boy who has stolen the hearts of all his carers at Dogs Trust’s Shoreham Rehoming Centre. At eight-years-old, he may be entering his senior years, but this bouncy Boxer Cross has never let go of his puppy-like ways.

He’s a playful chap who likes keeping active – either when playing a game with his toys or exploring on his walks. Most of all Boycee loves spending time with people and will make for a loyal and loving best friend once he knows you well.

A multi-person household would be ideal so that this affectionate lad always has someone nearby for a cuddle. Boycee is an avid sunbather so his dream home would have a garden of his own to relax in and for off-lead exercise. He will need to be the only pet in the household but can live with older children, aged 12 and over.

This beautiful boy will make a fun new addition to a family who will embrace his exuberant Boxer traits, and who can dedicate lots of time to him.

If you think you could be the perfect companion for Boycee, then please don’t hesitate to contact Dogs Trust Shoreham on 01273 915100. The Rehoming Centre is based at Brighton Road, Shoreham, BN43 5LT or alternatively visit www.dogstrust.org.uk.
