Swift sports in Grand Parade, Brighton has four of the seats in it from the former Palladium Cinema, which closed in 1956 and was demolished in 1960. The Brighton Centre now exists on the site. Swift sports must be one of the longest running independent shops in Brighton & Hove. They commenced trading in the 50's and are closing next year, due to retirement. Always sad to see an independent close. I remember buying football kit there as a kid, although I haven't bought much there since.

If you go to Devil's Dyke ON A CLEAR DAY taking a 6ft stepladder, you can see my aunt's chimney.
If you go and sit on the top of Prince Monolulu's aunt's chimney ON A CLEAR DAY, you would be able to see a person on a 6ft stepladder at Devil's Dyke

The list below shows the most populous urban areas in the United Kingdom as defined by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), but as readily referenced at Citypopulation.de. The list includes all urban areas with a population in excess of 100,000 at the 2011 census.[3]

The stats have St Albans & Bracknell as part of Greater London....
I never knew that little known fact but it makes sense. Do you know where the line was? I know the route from the Downsman pub and assumed it came up from (West Hove and) Portslade Station.
