Wow, it seems we lived 200 yards apart at the same time. My mum remembers a bus stop outside the house which, if they haven't moved it in the meantime, would make it 270 Cowley Drive, opposite the junction with Foxdown Road. My mum lived there with my grandparents before she married, and when they moved to be caretakers of the Salvation Army hall in Moulsecoomb my parents took it over. I have no memory of it as I was 18 months old when we moved there in 1964 and we left in 1966 for the warmer climes of sunny Southwick.I lived just down the road from where this film was shot - where Cowley Drive merges in to Bexhill Road, from 1962 to 1975, in Foxdown Road. The no. 48 green bus terminated there, whilst the no.45 red bus terminated at Cowley Drive shops, about half a mile down that road. It used to cost 5 old pence (2p), to get to Brighton. I've got an older person's bus-pass now!
