Shoreham-by-Sea BMX Track and Gammans bike shop

Took a trip today over to Shoreham with my brother and my GT for a little trip down memory lane. The track is totally unrecognisable from back then
It looks like they have just chucked a load of dirt here and there to cover up all the stones that were the nasty thing about the track. Those that rode here too can vouch for that I guess
Here's some more shots of some of the track from different views.
Newspaper article found at local Library
Now, Gammans bike shop. Come out of the station, turn right over the railway lines then right into Gorden Road.
This is how it looked in the early 80's
and now, today
It was demolished in 1994 to give way to the houses you see and he moved round the corner. That has since been replaced by a childrens toy and clothes shop.
Some news on keeping the track alive in 2000.
And if you want to buy my GT, it now comes with authentic 80's BMX track dirt added

oh my god, my childhood revisited .................... THANK YOU
Used to be down there loads, the bike shop and the take out were a lunch break then back for an afternoon sess. Broke so many acorns down there, never raced, just went for the scene, the crowd, and the jumps. Remember a pk landing on top of me once. oh the day

Just thought I would give this thread a bump to see if we can get any more pics or news on the place
