Photoshop Elements 'dry brush' and 'poster edges' figure in the presentation of this view of Seaford.

Design for a button badge - perhaps - or a fine example of gibberish!

It may seem odd to feature an old junk shop, with mattresses leant against a doorway, but the array of different materials and textures is a wonderful contrast to the very neat presentation of the more up-market interior design shop across High Street. 26.9.2012 the junk shop is no more! 2013 this building is now part of the 'interior' shop opposite - facing one in this view - with a matching, tasteful decor. Shame the character was lost, but that's progress! 2021 The main building on the right is now a house. The smaller building with the awnings is now a podiatrist's practice. The grey interiors shop facing this yard is now white and unoccupied.

A touch over-saturated, perhaps.

Seaford's Peace Garden is a joint project between the Town Council and Seaford Quakers. It was designed by Lindsay Thomas and built by Horizon Landscapes. The central sculpture & the benches were designed and made by Christian Funnell. The new stone inscriptions were designed and carved by Jo Sweeting. It is located in Saxon Lane, just south of its junction with High Street, Seaford. It forms the north-western corner of Crouch Gardens.

In keeping with this series of images of some of the older buildings in Seaford, various items of street furniture and road markings have been removed.
