I remember the 'Golden Cross' pub in Southover street, my first pint was in there when i was about 14 Brown and mild.

That's spooky; I had my first pint in the Golden Cross too, also about 14, but the one on Portland Road in Hove after a warm summer's evening kicking about at Wish Park....

The beautiful Falmer village pond...

And whatever used to be where the massive Wetherspoons on West Street is now. I honestly can't remembr

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Wow what a trip back.
Not living in brighton any more I think the thing I miss the most is walking back along the prom after a night out.
Leaving the Escape, hot and sweaty and feeling the cool sea air. Bloody brilliant.
I loved my youth and miss it loads.
But when I visit now the place I miss the most is the Quadrant.
I love Brighton and miss it loads.

The New Regent night club - bottom of West street.

The Hungry years is what I miss most.

Tuckers hamburger shop in Waterloo Street.

Where we used to skate (above the arcade) on Madeira Drive (and where they took the main Quadrophenia picture all lined up in front of that 'hangar' thing)

Pub in the road next to West Street - Smugglers? I was in there the night Heysels was on the telly never seen a room full of skinheads go so quiet.

Funny little night club upstairs from one of them as well.

Preston Street when it had good restaurants

The Roller Disco on a Sunday at Top Rank - Centrefold was played every week.

American Dream ice cream parlour - top end of west street on the left as you went up

Leadbellys - burger 'restaurant' on western road that served food on wooden plates (wouldn't get away with that these days) and had dark lighting so you couldn't see what was in them!

 

[hitony]

anyone remember the "LYNDON CLUB" in waterloo street, it was owned by sid minter, alan minter (the boxer) dad, in my late teens i used to get soooooooooooooo drunk in there

and Tuckers in the same street, was where i bounced a cheque for 50p for a giant hot dog, (didnt bounce the cheque on purpose, i was drunk and didnt know what i was doing oh and obviously SKINT !! )

What a great thread and what marvellous days, as franks wild years said in an earlier thread, How i miss brighton

[Yorkie]

great site

and how old are you yorkie
the whisky a go-go
you must be older than me?

Cheeky beggar, you're two years older than me

I preferred that bowling alley at Hove Station to the one at the King Alfred.
Our youth club did a 24 hour bowlathon for charity there. It was dead exciting for me at the time (I was 18) because it was the first time my Dad allowed me to stay out all night.

 

[ditchy]

I forgotten about that, it used to be dark blue if I remember correctly. It's now the Hotel du Vin.

it was better as Henekeys !

 

[ditchy]

Used to go to both of them, ah the memories! A bit outside Brighton but used to go to Cinderella's back in the 70's. Starting to feel old now!

The computer shop down by Wimpy's just outside the Laines. Can't remember it's name but did a great line in C64 games.

Steak Pie and Chips 2s4d
Steak Pie and Veg 2s2d
Chicken Pie and Chips 2s2d
