Yes and as part of lottery funding they have to maintain it as well once its done, which is good news, also the Market is coming on well and it is rumoured plans for the Co-op to be submitted soon for Student housing and retail units underneath.

How it was in 1848 when it was used for sensible activities like cricket, betting and drinking.

Will it still be a big roundabout?

 

[BBassic]

Brilliant. It's been a wasteland for far too long.

would be better if they just levelled it

 

[The Fifth Column]

Hopefully they'll dig a friggin great hole to sweep the street drinkers and shitbag druggies into, alas knowing Brighton there will probably be a solar powered Eco friendly needle exchange kiosk and drop in centre for recovering shoplifters made of sustainable free range Namibian noncewood.

It was very much open when I walked through about an hour ago!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Are they going to stop that f***ing awful fair that rolls up every couple of months?

Are they going to stop that f***ing awful fair that rolls up every couple of months?

Best chips at a movable fair in the world, probably.

Are they going to stop that f***ing awful fair that rolls up every couple of months?

Please, in our front room we hear the loop of music such as 'Thriller' and the screams of youth being flung around on steel machines.

Isn't St Peters church the wrong way round on that painting?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Isn't St Peters church the wrong way round on that painting?

don't think so...looks about right if looking at it from the north

 

[spongy]

It just doesn't look right to me, I thought the spire was at the north end of the church, but saying that I haven't been down that way, for well, years actually. Weird living in a town how rarely you actually go to some parts of it.

Are there paddling pools now?

The first mention of a Brighton team is on 22 July 1754 when a combined team of Bolney, Brighton and East Sussex took on Guildford, Ripley, Thursley and part of Surrey at Guildford. Brighton Cricket Club was originally formed in 1791, but was re-established in 1848 by G.King and W.Adams.
The game was played on the Steine until all ball games were banned there by the Master of Ceremonies in 1787. The Level then became the main venue with the Prince of Wales's ground being laid out in 1791, but it was replaced in 1823 by the Hanover Ground on the northern side of Union Road, now Park Crescent (q.v.). Sussex representative sides had been fielded since the mid eighteenth century, but the country's oldest county cricket club was formally established on 1 March 1839 under the presidency of Viscount Pevensey, later the second Earl of Sheffield. Infrequent fixtures were played at the Hanover Ground, but in 1848 the club moved to the Brunswick Ground in the vicinity of Third and Fourth Avenues, Hove. A final move to the County Ground was made in 1872 when nine acres were acquired from the Stanford family. The first match at the County Ground was played on 20 May 1872.
