Introducing the Clifton Hill tour

By Anthea and Steve Myall, Clifton residents

I'm Anthea Myall. I've been in Brighton since 1968 when I came to the Royal Sussex County Hospital to train as a nurse. I'm now one of the occupational health visitors at American Express in Brighton.

I actually became involved in the My Brighton project when I read in the Amex news that the project was being launched and they were asking for people to send in their personal tours.

My husband's name is Steve Myall. We now live in Clifton Hill, on the site of the old Mews that served the pub in Clifton Hill.

This tour that we chose of the Clifton and Powis area builds up a picture of the area in which we live. It is based on a research project that I did as a student at the Brighton University.

Very interesting. I have lived in the area for a short time and have often wondered about the history of the area. Now I know!

I used to go to school in Clifton Terrace (Clark's College). We were taught that 'Stranger on the Shore' was filmed in the Terrace and portrayed as being on the beach, and that the film company painted the houses all white for the film. Is this true ?

I used to go to Clarks College in Dyke Road/ Clifton Terrace around 1946 to 1950 having transferred from the school's Old Steine premises. I joined the Evening Argus on leaving school and later worked in Fleet Street, Hastings and finally on The Irish Times in Dublin. I started my own business in Dublin. Now retired my sons run the business and I now live in Kemptown, Brighton.
