Nice to hear Kate Cowan (voiceover in the “Radio Sussex Travelwatch” jingle) and Anna Benstead (in the Top Ten Trip Through Time jingle). They were normally newsreader and presenter respectively.

More cars on the road than there were twenty or so years before when I was there, but that bit of Lancaster is (or at least was) still mostly unchanged. One of the best chippies in Lancaster back then was a short walk from the roundabout, down Prospect Street. I think it's still there, but can't say if they're still as good as they were.

Thank you thank you thank you ... some of us treasure this kind of thing.

I can't believe they were still announcing the MW wavelength in metres in the 1990s ... such a crossover time.

loved sandra badrock and sean usher. I tuned in from miles away in Oxford ... County Sound was an amazing station.

I love it!

As you may already know, we have launched a crowd funding bid to allow us to re-launch County Sound as a localised online station, we are looking for people to be involved in this exciting project - please have a look at our proposals igg.me/at/countysound/x/19849114. The station will be operated by Independent Local Radio Limited, a not-for-profit social enterprise company.

Used to listen to this on FM in the late 80s near St. Albans.

I used to record this sort of stuff in the 80s mainly from my local Chiltern Radio which is now Heart. But I loved to see which other stations I could receive on FM near St. Albans and BBC Radio Sussex was one of them. I remember that funny little jingle. I miss those days, radio is now so boring and DAB is just no fun.

this is the most amazing u tube upload i have ever heard love it. knew every single word. shame we didnt hear the joanne lumley news stab

The fire-fighters radio station in Surrey.

Nice station jingles plus the station logo looks similar to the English Tourism Council logo.

Brookside theme and Ch 4 ID ?! Hmm

Great memories...Good to hear Piers Bishop in there...

Great jingles. From the news stories (Gibraltar Inquest) I think this is from September 1988. Thanks for posting.

Likewise. I sent you a reply on Thurs eve......but didn't get anything back. No worries at all if you're busy, or away for the Bank Holiday weekend, but if you don't find one anything for me in your inbox in the next couple of days can you let me know on here please? Thanks, David

Hi Patrick, You might be able to help us; I work for BBC Sussex, the current incarnation of Radio Sussex, and we're gearing up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of going county wide this coming November, however the master tape of the Sue Manning jinlge package is on the verge of falling apart. We're hoping to trace some original carts from the time, but we'd be very interested in knowing exactly what you've got in the way of jingles? My email address is; davidmiller@bbc.co.uk. Thanks, David.

Glorious nostalgia. Thanks so much, Patrick, for posting this... can you believe this is from over 25 years ago ? Bought back memories of listening to Rowland Myers (whatever happened to him ?) in the post room at work in Eastbourne.

Some great Sue Manning jingles in there

ee by gum lad, that looks rite tateters there!

I used to take this route coming home from school in the 1940s. It was the Circular route that turned round at Torrisholme roundabout to go to Bare where we lived. A Morecambe bus skidded on small frogs at that roundabout , the year 1948 I believe. The P1 Lightning test plane cockpit cover landed in Dallas Rd. Torrisholme in the 1950's the pilot Bee Beaumont landed the plane safely at Warton. I left there in 1950.
