    1. [SXP] Old Brighton Photographs
    2. David Hopkins
    3. Hi All Recent discussion about Fleet Street reminded me of two interesting books of old Brighton photographs of streets which no longer exist made up of photos taken by Brighton Council's Public Health Inspectors prior to slum clearance schemes being implemented. These are Backyard Brighton and Backstreet Brighton published by Queenspark Books ( http://www.queensparkbooks.org.uk/index.html ) a community publisher. The books also contain reminiscences by people who grew-up and lived in these streets. One of the books features Elder Street north of Fleet Street where my mother was born and lived in the 1920s & 1930s. Her mother and grandparents lived in the street on and off from 1871 until 1935. These publications are well worth exploring if you are looking for insights into residential parts of Brighton which are long gone. I have not connection with the publisher. The books were found in Bexhill Public Library. All the best for Christmas.
