The study carried out by the Royal Mail revealed the top 20 romantic hotspots in Britain. Peacehaven has made it on to the list, but not thanks to its pebble beaches of South Downs views. In fact, Peacehaven has been listed as one of the UK s most romantic hotspots due to the high number of love-related street and house names. There are a starry-eyed total of 109 love inspired street or house names in Peacehaven making it eighteenth on the list. There are more than 24,000 UK streets and houses sporting a romance-related name, according to the new research.

Seeing our photo of The Wheatsheaf, in Little Bromley, brought back memories of her grandmother, Nell Turner, who lived at Goose Green, Wix. Mrs Sharpe said: “From the 1930s to the 70s, my grandmother worked for Edgar and Nancy Cooper at Mulleys Farm, in Little Bromley, and she would tell a tale of working in the field near The Wheatsheaf.
