Brighton picture quiz

[The Large One]

Telephone House?

Yup.

Caption reads: A great contrast is shown in these photographs, (this and previous) with about seventy years between them.
After these demolitions the site stood empty for a couple of years. In late 1937 the building of the ill-fated Telephone House was started, and it was opened in 1938. After only forty years however defects were found. Repairs were impracticable so this quite recent office had to be removed and it is now (1984) being rebuilt. Ironically the houses that stood here lasted from 1800 to 1935. Further comment is superfluous!

Yep. If you look carefully, you can clearly see the words "Marks and Spencer" on their shop.

What's the building on the extreme left of this row?

 

[Deleted User X18H]

That's Robertson Road my Lord taken I would suggest from either a Garden on The Drove or the bottom of Inwood Crescent. The Streets on the left in inclination are Scarborough Road, Kingsley Road , and Hampstead Road and not a Parking Meter in sight. My drum is not quite in this photo sadly.

Absolutely! You can see a signal box on the extreme right of the picture.
