Do you remember the stench from the Gas Works?

I can recall being driven past there circa 1967 with M&D + us 3 kids.
My big sister [~11 y/o] commented along the lines of "Poo, what a stink of gas!"
Mum replies: "Breathe through your mouth then."
To which big-sis retorts: "But then it tastes horrible!"

Brighton?
Hove?
Bit of both? :smile:

I worked on those gardens in the summer of 1973. The bloke in charge (Bert) had as much "get up and go" as a stoned sloth, and lead by example. One day, he sent me on the "fine" mowing round which consisted of the grass in the picture, around the Peace Statue and a little bit at the bottom of Bedford Square. I started after dinner at 2.00 pm (our dinner time was officially 12.30pm -1.30pm), and by 3.30pm I'd finished. I cleaned and put the mower away, found Bert and asked him what he wanted me to do next. He said I'd been exceedingly quick, scratched his head, looked puzzled, thought for a bit and then said, "You might as well go home.", so off I went. We should have finished at 5.00 pm!
