Trolley buses at 7 dials? That's going back a bit! I'm guessing before 1959 which is when I started going through there every day on my way to school

The Traff was a W-W-W-atney house?

Stanford Road or the Grammar? My route 1951 to 1963. Remember Bunny?

Hove Grammar. We moved from Surrey to Hassocks in 1959 and I got the train to Brighton and the bus to school till I left in 1962.
Who was Bunny? Maybe one of the bus conductors?
Thank you - love seeing old photos of Brighton although these were clearly taken a bit before my time.
Couple of questions for those old enough :
1. What on earth were flowers of sulphur used for ?
2. Where was that windmill ?
It's used for treating infections in farm animals (and people in former times). I had some in my chemistry set that I had in my teens for any experiments that involved suphur

I think they've all been photoshopped, I mean, how on earth could anyone get to work and generally cope and survive without cars?
That's Hodson's mill on West Hill Rd. It was demolished in 1866. I remember it well.

anyone know when the large roundabout got changed to the small one?
I had doubts about recent change back to larger one, though it's easier to get across on foot now/ A bit jerky, if on the bus, mind, with sharp turns.

I look nothing like him!
You don't know what I look like.
I would.
Not been back to that part of Brighton for years - what is it now if not a pub?
