I did go round the outside and took quite a few in the week before the end. I haven’t scanned them and don’t know if there’s enough interest or space on here to post them all. If there are any specific bits then I can post those.

This is in Kings Road although exact location and date are not known.. Interesting old bus. Quite what a pack of foxhounds were doing in the middle of Brighton I have no idea.

Not much going on football wise, so here's another contribution from the original inspiration of this thread:

 

[Perfidious Albion]

A jolly charabanc outing from the pub The Kings Head , which once stood in West Street. They seem dressed up maybe off to the races? I noticed a keg in te front so I expect they had a good time .

The Kings Head disappeared to make way for building the old SS Brighton sports stadium…. Nowadays it is this.

I have a hobby that includes 60k of old postcards. I just added these with may be of interest. They came fro a Northamptonshire collection with lots of annotations.
It seems the team is Brighton when they played against Northampton in 1911/12. I have seen the other before, it’s a picture of the Northampton fans at a Brighton cup game around 1928/29.
However, if you know better let me know.

Thanks for posting those. It shows those of us not old enough to remember the West Pier being open what a wonderful ornate structure it was and also what a great job they did restoring the only remaining structure on the prom.
