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

    [Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

    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!!

    I thought our fish puns were good, but these bread ones are possibly better? Keep them rolling in.

    [Music] What Is Your Main Source For Listening To Music At Home?

    I stream my music in to my hi-fi separates system. I used to use the Tidal streaming service, but whilst upgrading my amp and streamer recently, the men in the audio shop said that Qobuz was much better. You get a free month's trial, so I gave it a go. I've not looked back. CD quality or...

    I'll let Jevs reply in more detail, but I'm sure he wouldn't want anybody to get them removed. They've been there for years, and people come specially to see them.
