Including (in the top pic) the angling shop owned by Jack Ball, ex-Brighton 'keeper. My Dad bought me my first sea rod there, second-hand, a million years ago; I remember Jack being a friendly bloke. Mind you, he had just flogged us a lousy bit of ancient crap, to be fair. He was probably beside himself with joy.

Or took any film to Boots to be developed (Stickers Of Shame helpfully plastered over the under-developed / over-developed / finger-obstructed prints at no extra charge)
I think Hove Motors was owned by Tony Blooms grandfather
Ah, the Crystal Rooms. Usually got 9 Woodbines out of 10 on the old penny slots. Happy days, wheezy nights!
Interestingly, I've just spent 5 days copying a load of 8mm videos onto my hard drive. They come from 1989 to 2001. There are a few parties from those days and the first thing you notice is not a single mobile phone anywhere. The bad news is that the original copy to disc has to be done in real time.
