  • Name calling

    In fits of enthusiasm, (hopefully) strained through humour, Norman Road has been called
    "The Portobello"
    "The Bloomsbury"
    and now
    "The Hoxton"
    of the South Coast.

    More suggestions are, (cough, ahem, grin), most welcome...

So what else comes from the Middle East and is synonymous with transport? And is not black and greasy and lives underground, not oil?

Ta da! Exactly! Carpets. Oriental carpets and rugs. As available in Norman Road from Patrick Robbins Interiors, base of Orientalrugsonline.co.uk

One of Europe’s more detailed and comprehensive sources of extremely fine rugs, as represented on the website, and in the Bricks & Mortar establishment, Patrick Robbins Interiors.

And here is the cheesy picture showing that magic carpets really exist:

    Autumn slips quietly into Christmas, and we have to start feeding the Christmas cake, remembering a pressie for Aunt Silly, and preparing. Christmas pressies are just fab on Norman Road: Love has kids stuff, McCarrons has pretties, Dawgs has...guess, ..yes dog treats, and up and down the road are gifts for grownups, special gifts that show the value you place in your gifts, not the price of them.
    And now! Somewhere great to stay while you visit. The very wonderful Hastings House for passionate rejuvenation of all senses.
    Norman Road is changing and refining eclectically, and we are going to welcome some Norman Neighbours: people who are nearby but don't fit in any category known to Norman. Artists, Book publishers and karmic creatives will all be here.
    The Bloomsbury of the south coast, thats what we are now. Allegedly.

  • Nearly Normans

    There are a few "Nearly Normans" here: places so cool, and so close that they just had to be included.

  • Creative Norms

    Creative Norms abound, altho', being creative, are a little backward in coming forward. We have logged a couple, painter and publisher, and know of more... Please watch this space:CREATIVES
