Peter Ticehurst is quite right, it was in Dyke Road near the top of Highcroft Villas, but to the other side of the junction rather than the Dyke Inn side. I called it Miller's Road, because that was the road I'd have come up, rather than Highcroft Villas or Dyke Road, coming from Preston.

The large tram shelter that formerly stood at the south end of the Victoria Gardens opposite the North Gate of the Royal Pavilion was moved to the seafront in 1948 to become the Aquarium Station of Volk's Railway, and although modified several times since then is still in use today.

A new group is to be formed called Friends of the Pepperpot ('Pepperbox' if you're over 50) which might also take an interest in the Pepperpot tram shelter. It would be good to have a photo of the tram shelter in good state of repair as at Dyke Road as it shows detail and colours (OK it's B+W but you know what I mean). Can Martin Nimmo or anyone else help? Please ring or e-mail Chris Lowe @ chrisalowe@btinternet.com 07761674827

No Peter, you were correct first time, it was William Noyce. He was my grandfather and my middle name is William, after him.

Some of us volunteers at Amberley Museum are helping to restore the Dyke Road Park shelter which is now the 'Village Square' shelter and on stripping out some of the later day hardboard panels, I found a brand new packet of Silk Cut cigarettes. I wonder how long they had been there. They are in the office if you want to claim them.

Further to my last comment about the Amberley/Dyke Road Park shelter - does anyone know when it was built?

Martin, you forgot one, there was a shelter between the Gladstone Arms and the cemetery gates: 'the Arches bus stop'. Was this one saved or destroyed?

The Dyke Road bus shelter stood almost opposite Port Hall Road, in Dyke Road next to the park. When we were young in the mid 50s, we used to shelter there on rainy days. When playing in the park, I used to meet a boy called Spud Murphy. He was a teddy boy and wore a black jacket with white flecks, drainpipe trousers bootlace tie and suede thick crepe soled shoes. He had black hair Tony Curtis style, and was a lovely young man. Sadly he was killed in a motor cycle accident in Cromwell Road Hove in 1959. He lived in Chatham Place off the Seven Dials. He was about 17 yrs of age. The bus shelter was painted green and cream and was of a later date than the one at Tivoli Cresent. The one at the top of Highcroft Villas was very similar to the Dyke Road one. I would guess late forties early fifties that they were built, but I could be mistaken.

I remember the old tram shelter opposite Port Hall Road, it was just at the top of the twitten that runs from Old Shoreham Road to Dyke Road. Another interesting fact, although I am too young to remember, is that almost directly underneath it was a WWII Air Raid Shelter, the entrance was from what is now the children's play ground.

I’m sure the kiosk at the junction of Rock Street and Eastern Road is a converted Brighton corporation tram shelter, it has now been extended to a useful size for retail. I know the kiosk well because I used to have a paper round in the late 60s delivering to Lewes Crescent and Chichester Terrace. The kiosk was my pick-up point for the papers; I was paid 15 shillings a week (75p) for a week day morning and evening delivery and a Saturday and Sunday morning delivery. Sundays I had to go out twice because the affluent people of that area always had the Times, Telegraph or Observer which were huge with lots of supplements.
