It shows housing in Devonshire Terrace, Brighton. The house on the right appears to be empty, possibly pending demolition.

Comments about this page

I was born in Devonshire Street and grew up in the area until we moved away in 1961/2 when the area was demolished for redevolment. If my memory is right that house wae demolished and the coalman use to park his lorry on the site, the reason I think I am right is a friend fell off the back of the lorry and split his head on a lump of coal which left him with a scar in black. I am sure that some of my old friends also remember the area and the old dump area where we all played.
