NUDIST COLONY
Perturbation at Pevensey
Stories of nudist bathing are bringing boom business to tradesmen at Pevensey Bay, Sussex, formerly a secluded resort. . ’ Curious visitors descended on Pevensey in cars and charabancs recently, but the nudist bathers took fright and the special constable who had been commissioned to keep an eye on beach morals had ar/ uneventful day.
“We don't mind the nudists. We are doing the finest business for years,” a tradesman told an Interviewer. Mrs. M. C. Elliott, the Pevensey- representative of the ' Hailshain Rural District Council, at a council meeting said:—
“I want to know if something can be done to control behaviour on the seashore. It Is becoming a nudist colony. Before now I have had to fetch the police to the village. Attempts to form a nudist colony in a wood near Pevensey have been made. “Members of the council were invited to join, but the scheme was abandoned, I believe, through lack of support,” Mr. A. Carr, Hailsham town clerk, said. Meanwhile, some of the oldest residents have wondered how they have missed the nudists.
