Brighton picture quiz

[Storer68]

and some real stripes at Withdean in 1928!

The date of this photograph is 26 April 1928. At this time there was a project to install a Zoo in the fields that then separated Withdean Hall from Surrenden Crescent. There was no thought of Withdean Crescent then. The field in which the zebras were grazing can be picked out in the previous photograph, as can the houses of Surrenden Crescent. The large field laid out as allotments was owned by Mr. Emile Moreau, of Fairlie Place, Surrenden Road, who let it as allotments so as to prevent it being built on.

[Storer68]

so where's this?

 

[Storer68]

same place as this

 

[Storer68]

Olympic Stadium? (yes I know it hosted the Olympic Tennis -can't remember when tho. 190?)
Slightly cheaper than the 2012 version anyway..........

Theater of Trees.

That was driving me MAD. I had to cheat.

Not what I was expecting at all.

Bugging me as well. I am guessing that something has been demolished/destroyed and since been put up behind it. I want to say a since departed boozer in front of Hove Town Hall, but that adjacent road doesn't tally. GRRR

I am going to look

So... did you look?

So... did you look?

I did. I assumed the pub in question had ceased to be. Quite a surprising answer to that, but shall not ruin it for someone that wants to guess it.

Now you know the answer, can you make out the setting?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I can indeed. I only lived just around the corner (Oriental Place) for 1.5 years.

Where did there use to be a miniature railway in Brighton?

(Not strictly a picture quiz question - but I'd like to see a picture of it of someone can find one.)

[8ace]

there used to be one in Hove Park.

There still is and Hove Park was in Hove last time I looked.

 

[The Large One]

Can't find a picture of the miniature railway, but there is still the pub to get...

 

[The Spanish]

I had to cheat. Was very surprised, not wishing to spoil it.

Do you know where it used to be then?

 

[surrey jim]

I needed to cheat on the pub aswell and can honestly say I wouldn't have guessed it in a month of Sundays even though it used to be one of my locals!!!.

 

[The Large One]

Do you know where it used to be then?

The railway? Hove Park, as others have said.

Or the pub? It's still there, and one of Brighton's shit-holes.

The railway.
Not the Hove Park one - there was once another one...

(I too have cheated on the pub)
