Not so sure about that. Huge swathes of Brighton were derelict in the 60s/70s and lots of the (then) town were falling to pieces. Still a great place to grow up (Beach, South Downs, EF students) but nostalgia can play tricks with the memory.

The North Laine area did seem positively DICKENSIAN at the time for sure

Loved those old Sainsbury’s shops with marble counters and wooden fittings. Takes me back to when I used to get sent round to buy eggs individually for 1 1/4d (a penny farthing) each.
