Photos: then and now

Comments about this page

• I have lived and worked in this building for over five years and am interested in what it has been in the past. When was it built? Are there any more photos of it?

• I have a photograph of my great grandmother, Emma Heryet, taken when she was probably 18 years old in 1888. It was taken by professional photographer William Hall of 80 West Street, Brighton.  William Hall and Son occupied 80 West Street from 1887 to 1895.  2007 – my 19 year old daughter’s favourite venue in Brighton is The Walkabout – how times have changed.

• I lived at Chatfields as a teenager, approx 1963/67. I loved being close to the sea and town and loved the Brighton vibe back then.

• I lived there in the early 70s , my Dad Ken played piano there and my mum Sylvia worked behind the bars . I have great memories of that place.
