A virtual Bexhill visit

30 Jul 2012

Would you like to go for a wander around Bexhill to see the town that's home to the Sovereign Light Café? Well then check out the interactive map above and go for a virtual stroll through the town, starting from the café itself. (Turn around and head back down the road the café is facing and you'll get to the De La Warr pavilion, where many of the press photos for this album were taken - and, of course, where the launch shows were played.)

It's so realistic!!! like you are really walking over there, seeing the people and the cars, utterly amazing !!!!

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while!! It's very original and a fantastic way to discover a city that you might never get the chance to visit!!!! It's a lovely town indeed!! -------Near the De La Warr Pavilion there's a kid showing up his ass :-D hahahahahaha have you seen that??? It's hilarious!! :-D

I really love G. maps. I use it very often. Good idea, thanks for the visit Keane & co. ! I like this kind of place (and the grey colour of the sea and the sky the day the picture was taken).

Oh how did I never thought of doing this! I truly believe that the people who live in front of this wonderful sea must be the happy ones... There was a lovely white house for sale, maybe one day I'll have one of my own in there, so beautiful to live

ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo **** Great, it looks so peaceful, thank you! Lots of love to my favourite band! XXXX

I am following a site of an English fellow blogger who just moved to East Sussex from Andalucia, Spain to restore a house in Bexhill. She is a very good writer and the link to her blog is http://chicaandaluza.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/a-safe-arrival/#comment- 11506 I thought it might be interesting to check out her new venture in mythical Bexhill!

Che posto grazioso, mi è piaciuto tantissimo passeggiare anche solo virtualmente in questa località e guardare attentamente il Sovereign Light Cafè , per un attimo mi è sembrato di essere catapultata lì ed ho immaginato di vedere voi mentre sorseggiate qualche bibita rinfrescante in un soleggiato pomeriggio d'estate!!! Cari Keane, sapete che Bexhill mi ricorda Catania? Infatti anche nella mia città c'è un bel lungomare simile a questo che nelle sere estive si popola di tantissima gente e musica !!! Un abbraccio a voi tutti da Sabrina from Catania, Sicily!!!

I virtually visited these places: western road, devonshire road, endwell road, Magdelen road, king offa way, Belle hill, Little common road... and then I got lost but its a good thing...becuase that's exaclty what i want to do in a place like Bexhill.... getting lost in those unfamiliar yet so familiar streets... never been to Bexhill but one day I will just for Keane and a cup of tea and cake at Sovereign light cafe! Ive got to do it! fingers crossed

Judging from Mr. Hughes’ photoblogs , you’ve been to some really interesting places… from the realm of your reality..you bring us the world…..thank you…thank you all..

Had a fun day visiting SLC, De la Warr and Bexhill Seafront recreating the photos off the album after Hastings gig.- a fantastic Keane based weekend :)

Posted by moira196 at 9:23pm, 30 Jul 2012

This is great!! We're planning to visit Bexhill in a couple of weeks time just to visit the SLC. It's a long way to travel from Nottingham just for fish and chips and a nice cake but it's just something I've got to do - and I can't wait!! Let's hope the sun is shining!

Cool, cool, cool!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it! If wishes were fishes, I'd swim right over there from this side of The Big Pond!....Sherry W., Michigan, USA.

Posted by Sherry W. at 7:23pm, 30 Jul 2012

Amazing! It's even more exciting because I've just received my cd/dvd book of Strangeland, which I adored and touched me so much...therefore this was really a fantastic complement! It's so sunny by the De La Warr Pavillion, it must be your "Light" shining there...♥ It's a very beautiful and inspiring seaside place, so well cared! Love that enormous beach and sea, as I was also born and live by the sea in Portugal, near Cascais, which you know...;)Cannot live without "my" sea. Thanks a lot for this wonderful idea - love to you all****

Buenísimo, gracias chicos, es genial. Un hermoso lugar. Una genialidad la de Uds. Gracias. Besos desde Buenos Aires-Argentina

I like this virtual maps ( I do this sometimes with Brighton). Anyway, very interesting, someone gets closer to De La Warr Pavillion it get´s sunnier! Besides, I tried to remember 'my walk' as I came from Eastbourne by train and got a bit lost in Bexhill (it was already night) - for the first launch show. Even, I did google my way (before my journey) I thought, that´s easy, every street will take me to the sea. Bexhill is little. So, I ended up I think between Bolebrook Rd, even it could also have been Brookfield Rd. I found it quite interesting the journey by train from Eastbourne to Bexhill, takes about 20 minutes & well, I needed another 20 minutes till I found the venue ( even shameful, it wasn´t my first time I was there, but, etc...blah, blah.) Thanks for the nice reminder: I still love to laugh about this trip I did. Sorry, for this long post!
