Even in the 1990s there was endless shops that seemed perpetually closed. I never had enough anti nazi league or gig posters to cover the amount of available spaces.

The most exciting thing that ever happened to me on the road was standing behind Arthur Lowe in the Post office.

It will always be amongst the most boring 100 yards on earth, the only hope was A & S Records and that wasn't for long.

My last kicking was on the Queen's Road, lovely skinheads. 1982

Can anyone ever remember the outdoor escalator for the Kingswest cinema ever working? And did anyone ever queue outside it when it wasn't raining?

Was this taken during or just after the war? I remember 25 years ago an old communist told me he was arrested holding a political meeting on a bombsight during the war, he pointed in the direction of where the rubble is in the picture.

I loved that model shop on the corner!

Have Diechmann made a lot of enemies? Why else would they need a three storey fortress?

Still has the black cat half way up the wall. Someone I knew was seriously hospitalised 25 years ago trying to rescue it when drunk. It appears to be the same building converted into flats.

I'm not surprised it crashed. Surely that cockpit was made for 1?

I love the fact Brighton's parks aren't locked behind railings. Up North here in London, all the parks are railed and locked at sunset.

For someone who has clearly spent a lot on film cameras, they've put no effort into learning any technique. Interesting shots to us, but bloody unimaginative footage.

I took these pictures in Brighton in about 1988, when a student at Northbrook College. I titled it decaying Brighton at the time. The first couple were old houses being demolished somewhere out the back of Preston Street. Then the West Pier and finally a building near the top of Queens Road.

Just to the left of the centre - is that a cherry picker changing a street light?

It was a sign of quality to claim you were of London, especially the Strand.

Whilst not a fan of driving games, I remember a mates husband had worked on the program of mapping out London for the game - an early Google Street view. I'd love to see an Edwardian version of Brighton created from all these pictures.

I remember going in that Lloyds with my granddad and the woman behind the counter said "Hello Mr Deverell, do you have any ID?". Also once queued in that post office behind Arthur Lowe!

I used to flypost Brighton a lot in the 90s for the Anti-Nazi League and gigs etc. There was always an endless supply of boarded up shop fronts, many remained so for what seemed like a decade.

Awesome pictures, but the 1990s looks like the 1950s.
