[Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I was 1.
God I feel old.

You're only 30, man. I'm 64. Get a f***ing grip!

This is one of the few sets of images on the thread that not only looks pretty much the same, but also has the same building occupying the same space. Bankers!

I'd like to think I'm strong enough to resist this temptation, but clearly I'm not.

Annoyingly it turns out I don't have to be anywhere near 64 to start losing my hair.

Bad luck with that. I still have a lovely head of hair. No sign of a tonsure yet. Do I perhaps lack humility and religious vocation? Yes. Yes I do.

I will have to ask my 89 year old mum!
We had to move from the flat because the Landlady said my crying kept the other residents awake lol.
Ended up in St Mary Magdalene Street so Fairlight Infants & Juniors then Moulsecomb Seniors after.

The reason I asked is, as we're the same vintage and I lived in Hanover Street until I was 6, we may, just may have gone to the same nursery / school. Seems we didn't!

Mence Smith’s in Western Road takes me back. Their shop in Boundary Rd Hove was the go-to place for hardware when I was a kid . Haven’t heard of them in years .
Homer Herring in North St sounds impressive.

am I right in thinking I can rem that the colonnades extending into North Street were still there int9 the 1970’s/80’s?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

The Empire Theatre , New Road was the building in the middle, just a doorstep away from the Theatre Royal. The Empire went through various changes doing music hall and eventually became the Paris Continental cinema showing what I believe were dubious films until it closed in the ‘60s

The boring modern replacement building

It's RBS, not BoS. I go one better and remember it as the Green Shield Stamp shop where you could trade your stamps for exciting goods for home and garden.
