<DIV>As well as VW, it’s worth reading LW describing a walk on 4? August 1914
and discussing Peacehaven in “Beginning Again”, pp. 146-8. For those who
don’t have the 5-vol. edn, good luck finding this in any other edn!
Nothing in the index to help. Finding something you half remember in his
auto is often a challenge. Take something like “any sensible man must be a
feminist” – try finding that again.</DIV>

<P>The Wikipedia entry for Peacehaven is worth looking at. Here's a taster:</P>
<P>"Peacehaven was established in 1916 by entrepreneur Charles Neville, who had
purchased land in the parish of Piddinghoe; he then set up a company to develop
the site (he also eventually built nearby towns Saltdean and parts of
Rottingdean).[4] He advertised it by setting up a competition in virtually every
newspaper in England to name the development. The Daily Express later sued
Neville over the competition, holding that it was a scam, since he was offering
"free" plots of land in the town as runner-up prizes but issuing them only on
the payment of a conveyancing fee. The name of the winners who chose the name
'New Anzac-on-Sea' (to commemorate the ANZAC's involvement in the Battle of
Gallipoli)[5] were Mr West of Ilford Essex and Mr Kemp of Maidstone Kent. On 12
February 1917 Mr Neville changed the name to Peacehaven. The Express won the
case, but the publicity brought the scheme to a large audience. The idea was
then to sell plots of land cheaply for people to build on themselves. Initially
the town was New Anzac-on-Sea but less than a year later in 1917 it was renamed
Peacehaven."</P>
<P>So New Anzac-on-sea went the way of New Amsterdam . . .<BR></P>
