Oh wow, thanks for posting the Preston Road picture. I, and both my sisters are 99% certain that The little old lady looking in shop window is my old Grandma and the upright lady other side of the postbox is my Mum walking to meet her.

I think you may right, but at the lagoon Hove? I seem to remember that it was divided into two parts, one for model boats and the other for some wooden motor boats. Again as you, I may be wrong.

what a friggin mess … lord I’m getting old and exceptionally grouchy

who paid for that ?.

Remember my mates family lived in one of those houses. Up by the white van was a little path went through the scrub to what we called the bomb crater, nit sure if it really was or just us kids thinking it was. We used it as an occasional den and a place for a quick cigarette.

the big problem is that over decades planners have allowed countless architecturally beautiful buildings to be demolished and replaced with modern. Sadly so many have turned out to be dated, hideously decrepit blots that have done nothing to make Brighton nice. I’m sure there must be the odd...

I never knew that there used to be an old hotel and restaurant there. I assume demolished when the hideous Brighton Centre was built. Does anyone know what year the old buildings were demolished? Be interesting to know all that was demolished.
