Description

This is a new paperback version for 2011. "Brighton Remembered" is a selection of the best memories to give residents and visitors an idea of how much some aspects have changed and how others have surprisingly stayed the same.

This is a unique collection of pictorial memories of Brighton from the archives of the "The Argus".

There is no more faithful recorder of events which, year in, year out, make up the daily life of our fine city than the local daily newspaper.

Its journalists listen, probe and ask, then set down the facts to bring it all together. And its photographers complement the words with pictures that 'freeze-frame' events great and small, happy and sad, thoughtful and downright silly.

All this completes a record which is there for all time.

The archives of "The Argus" are brimming with thousands of fascinating such photographs which record over a century of life in Brighton and Hove. Now, for the first time, some of the best of these pictures have been brought together in one book, "Brighton Remembered", which covers each decade of the 20th century - and some of the years before - to produce a record which will evoke powerful memories for those old enough to remember, and provide illumination for those who simply wonder what it was like.

From pictures of the 19th-century seafront and then those days of Edwardian elegance, through two world wars and the intervening years, the austere 50s, the swinging 60s, and right through the 70s, 80s and 90s, all aspects of life are here.

From schooldays to shopping days, the Brighton Promettes to Mods and Rockers, snowstorms and gales, to golden days of Brighton prom, the reader will enjoy a wonderful journey through 100 years of our story.
