I lived at 35 Adelaide Crescent until I was 17. I loved the gardens and spent many hours sitting in there waiting for Mum to finish work at No. 27, a house of service flats for gentle persons run by Mrs. Almond a Welsh lady who had three children: David, Trixie and Robin.

I have been living at 34 Adelaide Crescent since January 2007, having come to the UK from Canada and, sadly, will soon be relocating elsewhere. The West Pier, a daily visual treat from my fourth floor window, will forever be imprinted on my mind and a source from which I will recall many happy memories of my time here.

My best childhood memories where growing up at 34 Adelaide Crescent.  From the early 70s to mid 80s it was a fantastic time. Flat 4 had fantastic views over the green where I played football most evenings with fellow comrades. The green also became popular with skateboarding with all the twisty paths. The pier always looked magnificent from our front room windows and, when I played the arcades on the pier with dad, we would always look out for home. In 1977 it was the Silver Jubilee the whole Crescent came alive for one day on the green.
