How can you be so sure?
I have increasing doubts, go on, put me out of my misery .... I was wrong.
Great shot. You can even spot a young Glenn Murray there, sitting second in from the right, in the early days of his Brighton career.

I'd recognise that view with my eyes closed - I'm with team [MENTION=21158]Weststander[/MENTION]
No, on further consideration the green glazed roof tiles on the houses in the distance are making me come round to thinking that you might possibly be right. It's a difficult one.

I look nothing like him!
That's a fascinating photo. Perhaps the Harbour Master's house? Must have had a job at the harbour?
Barcombe Mills?
What was called the Brighton "A" Power Station after the more recent "B" Power Station was built in the 1950s and on whose site is the present Power Station. Beyond the Power Station in the photo it is just possible to see the Gas Works. All three plants existed in my younger days. I don't however remember the house.

House has been photo-shopped in?
They certainly shouldn’t wash their dirty lining in public.

Do you remember the stench from the Gas Works?

I certainly do. Today, if you walk / cycle along the road by the sea behind the power station when there is a gently southerly wind, there is a fifty meter stretch where you get a whiff of the most nauseating stench imaginable. It looks like there's a sewage farm there, or is it from the power station?
House has been photo-shopped in?
While the windows have been photo-shopped out,

I remember the hot pipe coming out of the old works. It caused a lot of undercurrent that proved fatal for quite a few over the years,
