Mystery photos of Brighton and Hove

Neville Bishop Summer 1950

This wonderful photograph was taken in 1950. It shows local entertainer Neville Bishop with one of the entrants to his children's talent show.

Unfortunately we do not have any further information. Do you remember the smiling Neville and his talent shows? Where were they held? Were you a budding singer or entertainer who took part?

If you can contribute a memory - or information - or even a photo of you as an entrant - contact me jennifer@mybrightonandhove.org.uk and we will make you star once again by publishing your photo here.

I think this is the Aquarium, my husband remembers talent show there in the late 50s.

This could be on the Aquarium Sun Terrace, but if you Google Neville, he was appearing at Great Yarmouth about this time. Could this photo be fromn there?

It looks like Eastbourne Bandstand.

The ship's crest in the background suggests it may be in Hove? The Aquarium's refit in the 1920s displays very square plinths but the one in this picture is rounded like Eastbourne's bandstand. I have checked and its not Eastbourne. Also the railings (top right) don't look like anything in Marine Parade

Yes the wooden shutters and the style of architecture look like Eastbourne but the columns on Eastbourne's bandstand are fluted - not tiled. I think this is 'The Marina' in Great Yarmouth.
