I can't imagine my life without Brighton. I was leaving there last year and this picture is really lovely.

I have never before seen it so extrodinarilly empty! Normally you can only see a few metres infrront of yourself. I will have to go down there next christmas.

I cannot believe this photo dates back to 1967. Apart from the names of the shops, the Clock Tower and the view down North Street does not look all that much different from today 40 years on.

My Aunt Vera (Saunders)was manageress of Lewis separates shop about this time, later on she was the manageress of "Chelsea Girl" just along the road. I think it's River Island now. Remember the huge trendy shop front made up of the letters G.I.R.L. ?
