How did you get that from that picture

Bit of a lucky guess but, the area looked relatively flat so I guessed the park could be the Level and the trees looked about right.

I think the Lamb & Flag sign was a bit of a giveaway...

Next, who occupies this site now?

Is that Ship Street? Reminds me of that posh dentist building near HdeV.

 

[Man of Harveys]

the Pub du Vin? Formerly the Sussex Arts Club?

This one will test you.

Clue - it looks nothing like this anymore...

Is it Kensington Place/Trafalgar street? Originally struck me that it could be Tidy Street or similar. Defo has a North Laine feel to it.

[Southover Street Seagull]

I thought it was Bear Road, but showing the wall, in shadow, from the other side, where the Crematorium is situated.

Now seeing as reading this thread has been responsible for burning two rashers of bacon and nearly burning two baguettes, I have have a question.

In Queens park, walking from Tower Road, in the Dog Zone you can see a sunken set of bricks. They cover three sides of a square, and had a path to them on the 1911 Ordnance Survey map, which the Local Studies part of the Library have. Does anyone know what this building was?

Are you walking down towards the park or up towards the Pepper Pot?

If you are walking down and are talking about the bushes and trees on your left after the junction of Tower Road and Attree Drive; they are part of the remains of Attree Villa I think.

Rottingdean? Or along the coast road?

Yup its Rottingdean crossroads in 1934, looking north up the High Street

OK - a real toughie (if you don't cheat). Where is this road?
