  • I am sure the Argus girl 2nd on the left was Mary Beadle, who used to live in Hervey Road, she was lovely.

  • Spot on, Harry! Recognised her straight away, just couldn’t recall the name. Related to the Downards I think, who lived in Rugby Place, a stones throw from Hervey Road. Yes, she was (is) really lovely.

  • The lady first on the left is my sister-in-law. Her name then was Ann Richardson. She was an Argus girl for some years and also Miss Brighton & Hove Albion.

  • Sometime before 1971 when I got married, a young girl was killed in a car crash near the pylons. I know she was on a carnival float around that time, perhaps a little earlier. Her mum and dad were at my wedding. Her mum was a Hungarian lady. Sorry to be so vague but, it was a long time ago and I need my memory jogging. I went to her burial place where there was a photo of her. If anyone can fill in my lapses of memory I would like to put flowers on her resting place.

  • I believe that second in from the right is my mum Valerie Garnham ( Levy ). She sadly passed away in 1977.

  • The blonde lady(second from the left sitting on the horse) is actually my mum Jasmine Freeman who was an Argus girl in the 60’s.
    She is also In a previous photograph of the Argus girls.
