I got a pair of winklepickers from Ziggys for the new school year in the late 70's Moved to MId-Wales a few months later, and, due to said shoes, acquired the nickname Chisel. As an aside, Roy Chuter lived in the first-floor flat in the mid-90's (the war years).
Oooh, good call, possibly. Led of course by the late, great Jez Bird, a criminally-underrated songwriter.
Different times!Were The Piranhas ever completely hatless though?
There are only 4 in the picture, maybe the one missing is Reginald Fredrick Hornsbury, the bass player that is wearing a hat in all the photos on Google.
I would say not The Lamberettas because of the clothing, I imagine they would be wearing smarter mod gear.Oooh, good call, possibly. Led of course by the late, great Jez Bird, a criminally-underrated songwriter.
Anyway, I love the name of the newsagents: 'Smokemart'
EDIT: Piranhas might be a good call as well.
I moved to Brighton in the mid 80s for a job above Dunn&Co and never realised there was a flat next door. I also recently discovered I still own a 7" Tom Hark single in a picture sleeve, bought at a time I never imagined I'd end up living most of my life here!
I used to see a few films in my youth there. The last one I saw was probably Aliens with less than 10 people in the cinema, in the era when you had a support film and then the main event. I remember it had a wierd sort of wavy plaster over the walls, possibly for better sound reasons.
Looks like the last time the windows were painted the ladies dart club still played there
This.
Nevermind Hove, my favourite road in the world on a matchday
That is one impressive membership of a pub ladies darts team, wouldn’t be able to string together more than a handful these days
Looks circa 1960. This article has another picture, taken looking north in 1954. One of the comments mentions that it was still there in 1967.
