Looked it up. Ceased in 1939 for the war. Could that be a funeral.

There is so much going on in this picture. History frozen in time. To see so many sidecar motorbikes to start with. Is that person stood still and why are they dressed like that? Do we have a date?

Trying to work out which is which. So the pub in the old picture isn't the taxi office even though the window looks the same. In fact the old pub is now the newer building on the right of the new picture.

Isn't it starnge that the modern glass hotel on the seafront, now the Leonardo, got planning permission, but the Royal Albion has to rebuild as is. Maybe the Royal should offer the council some offices as part of any new build.

Tell me. I have 41 Kings Road which is 250+ years old. The basement goes under the shop to what looks like an original front door which is directly under the current front door of the block of flats. Beyond the lower door it goes down another level and becomes the arches. My basement goes out...

Who did you work for? My guess is Lewingtons. I got into a cellar in my shop, about 200 yards from there, that was unknown to me. It had bags of Humbugs that must have been 40+ years old.

Maybe the best photo on here. Even has an open top tourist bus! (I know). Never noticed before but there's no road markings or stop/give way signs.

Oh no, here we go again. It was 1972 no 1981 no 1976 I was there, I remember it well. Etc Etc.

Looking their ages, I'd guess most are still alive. Although all drawing their pensions now. Anyone owning up to knowing them?

CRAVEN 'A' Will not affect your throat.

On the left going down Edward St, is Frankie Vaughns. I know this shop has been trading under that name for many many years, but was it ever owned by the Frankie Vaughn?

Oh no, Berts got his banjo again. We told him no after the last trip.

From the Currys web site Currys was founded by Henry Curry in 1884 as a bicycle-building business, before the company diversified into selling toys, radios and gramophones when it listed on the stock market in 1927. Noting that the shop in the picture seems to be mainly wheels and baskets I'd...

That is a very interesting picture. In the forground is Fortes, which I never knew exsisted, but is the venue for the cafe fight scene in Quadrophinia. I always believed that scene was filmed elsewhere. I'm always getting asked where this place is and now I will print this off to show people. I...

That is the most amazing fact of the day, but for WATFORD zero to then come back with the house as it is today blows my mind.

My town of birth in 1955. Main shop is Lavels, a newsagent who had two shops in the town (village as it was then). I remember buying a World Cup Willie from that shop in '66. Behind the camera is the old infants school I went to, which should have been demolished years ago.

Bernie Clifton. And if you're asking who?

I think I've mentioned this before, but back in the late 60's my Dad would take us to this spot to watch the lorries coming down Mill Road and having to turn around because they wouldn't fit under the low bridge.

Brighton & Hove Albion 1910 Charity Shield Winners on their open top bus parade? How did those things not tip over or people on the top not fall out?

Nice to see the old signs still on the wall. Would they have any kind of grade 2 listing I wonder, doubt it very much, but any lease or freehold sale should have a caveat to keep them in place.
