Thanks for that,
I was a small child and there are several happy memories on there. The remote control boats on the pier, the open top green bus (was it number 77?) and that ridiculous 6 miles long and one foot wide paddling pool. Happy days on all three,

That’s what took my attention too. I had my 18th birthday do there, and then almost everyone else in my class at BHSVIC did too. 1983. Makes me feel old!
Thursday night, free room hire as long as you had plenty there to drink the beer.

Hungry Years...... I was in there a couple of weeks back, cannot remember what it's called now but Mrs Fridge and I had missed the bus to Peacehaven and needed some liquid refreshment. The place was nearly empty and when I enquired about the beers it was like Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch. 'Normally sir but not today', 'The cat drank it' etc etc. As it transpired they had delivery issues but he wasn't allowed to say that. Bizarre and some if you ask me? Faced with Coors, Coors Light or nothing else....we beat a hasty retreat to the St James Tavern on Madeira Place. It was excellent...one of the best pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord I have had for a long time.
Anyway that's my story and i am sticking to it!

Was a regular, three times a week, from 1979 until 1986 - went to BHASVIC too, oddly enough. Never been a rock club like it.

The year I started supporting Brighton, 1976, first match 2nd leg of League cup Vs Brentford 1-1. I thought it was ok but was then told we'd lost the 1st leg, D'oh!

Always thought the Fortune of War pub, on the beach bottom of West St, was as it is now. In the picture it is a small, one unit pub.

Thank you, that’s a treasure trove of memories.
I remember Asterix. The numbers on that receipt are a lovely bit of history in themselves! The different colour bus companies, West Street full of building societies and down the beach was rather run down.
No, I remember it as in the pic, but not sure when it expanded. Had almost forgotten The Belvedere, though.

Met my wife there 46 years ago and still together.

Patchouli?

Definitely glad I posted it now.
I was showing my 18 year old son the photos and I mentioned West Street with building societies, the famous Bosun pub is also in the photo, I think it had changed names when I first started going drinking.
Where I grew up in Brighton we had a choice of different bus companies to use to go to and from the town centre.
Me too. Coming in from Portslade, number 49s were blue and number 2s (oh I say, Madam) were green.
