In my defence, I meant it wasn't there when we walked along the route! :giggle:

I don't think so. I believe Kemptown goods yard was mainly used for coal in my day.

I've probably said this before, but I've walked over that viaduct around 1970. The trains had stopped by then! We walked from Kemptown goods yard, through the tunnel, across the viaduct, and turned back when we actually saw trains!!

Is the photo marked, or is that someone with a 12 foot beachcaster waiting for a bite? o_O

...and I thought it could have been me!

I used to misspend a lot of my youth on that landing stage.

I planted that Kaulreutia paniculata (the tree coming out on the left), in 1985.

What a fascinating photo. Could it be a swimming pool? I used to look after these gardens throughout the 1980's but never thought they would have looked like this 50 years before.

No "safety" fencing back then (visible in the photo). Fencing only started to be discussed in 1976 apparently.

The fencing is visible in the old photo too.

Can't believe the Arsgas put the wrong date there! That would have been a Tuesday!!

North Stand Roof was 100% there on 6th May 1979.

Doing my Sherlock Holmes bit, people wearing flares, no goals or lines on the pitch - probably ploughed up but can't tell. South stand empty, £ 1.30 to get in. My guess is Sunday morning, 6th May, 1979. The Goldstone party after getting promotion at Newcastle the day before and free to get in...

I live just around the corner from here. I never knew it used to be a Police Station. You learn something every day!

Silver's clothes shop on the corner. I used to buy a lot of my skinhead clothing from there in the late '60s.

I used to live in the next road to the east, Grange Road from 1976 - 1985. I don't remember that shop.

All the old black and white photos seem to show Brighton in a much better way I believe. Just to see if it makes a difference, I've edited the above. It seems to unify everything.

It's just not the same without the ?, ?

I lived at 81B Hanover Street from when I was born in 1956 until we moved to Woodingdean in 1963, in the top-right flat of the southern "Iron stairs" ones, opposite and along about twenty yards from the house in the photo. I must have walked up and down that alley thousands of times. I'm sure...

I tried to stop, but I curtain do it!
