My back lane up here in Cumbria. Came from an open day at Southdown Bus Depot in Victoria Road back in the mid 1970s.

Would I be right in saying that would be Cross Road then? My grandad was a conductor on the 49/49A route, he and my nan were caretakers of the Salvation Army hall, on the corner of Moulsecoomb Way and Eastergate Road, and we lived in Southwick, which was handy. As we're on this thread does anyone have a picture of the Salvation Army hall, according to Dr Google it was demolished in 1956, but this can't be right, as my grandparents didn't leave there until the early 70's, so my guess is that it was flattened in the mid-70's.

Was definitely there 60s/70s

I've never noticed what turns out to be Sussex Mews before. And I've driven along that road loads of times!

Southview Road. Until they stopped up the entrances from Old Shoreham Road, the 49A used to come down Southview Road - but went back up Cross Road and Underdown Road. The 49 went via Park Lane and Kingston Lane both ways.

If only folk putting things on ebay would take better photos!!

A couple of incidental West Pier shots, 1871 at just 5 years old and 1906 with a gleaming Metropole in the background.

Those pier pics are great. I wonder what those men are looking up at ? And why did they need life boats on a pier?

I well remember Brighton’s Municipal veg. Market , for wholesale traders . There was a fish market at one end . Early mornings the place was buzzing with lorries and traders vans picking up stuff . At one time there was a posh nightclub next door.

Circus Street looks a bit difficult now.
