The Building of Churchill Square Shopping Centre
มุมมอง 15K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Churchill Square was first built as an open shopping mall., One of the last in the country. It was started in 1968 and completed in 1972. above it were office blocks occupied by the Post Office as a regional centre. In 1996 work started on a new enclosed mall this opened in 1998 and in 2014 the whole front was given a makeover of glass

มุมมอง 3609 ปีที่แล้ว
The old footbridge at Shoreham was built in 1919 and constucted of reinforced concrete which over the years crumbled and made the bridge unsafe. A new bridge was built along side the old one and opened on 13th November 2013. It was named The Adur Ferry Bridge.

Southwick Pubs Now and Then
มุมมอง 3.9K9 ปีที่แล้ว
This is how the pubs of Southwick Sussex have changed over the past twenty years or so. Sadly some are no longer there.
London Road was the main shopping thoroughfare before the first Churchill Square. I remember going to Bellmans as a kid.
Nice video awful music so depressing sounded like funeral music
they knocked down our primary scholl st pauls to builted a pile ifrubbish
Built with no where to sit. Inside or out.
August 2023: in 5 years time this 'new' Churchill Square will be as old as the old one.
I grew up in 70s and Churchill Sq was fabulous better than the could be anywhere US style mall today, absolutely rubbish! This vandalism of an iconic landmark to Brighton should never be forgotten or repeated. Who today could demolish say Trellick Tower? A similar concept.
This place is like north Woolwich by the sea
Amazing how most of the shops/traders in this video have disappeared from our high street
Brighton is a dump now; I’ll never go back. Everything the developers touch has destroyed the town. So very sad.
I hate Brighton now. Every single thing they do to it just makes it worse. It’s a dump; they’ve destroyed it.
I remember fainting in that WHSmiths store. I’d just found out I was pregnant the day before, so was looking at baby name books 😆 I was standing there ages, looking, then suddenly started blacking out. They had to get me a chair. My daughter is now 31 next month. Seems like yesterday.
Wow is she ok and are you still after covid ?
My teenage childhood right there. The sights and sounds from that video just took me right back. I remember the Old Churchil Sq ( 50p shop was amazing as a kid) And i remember the new build. It’s scary to think we’re getting further from the 90s Brighton was a beautiful and special place back then. Also it was beautiful to hear the Evening Argus man @ 2:03 in the Victorian Imperial Arcade another found memory. 🥲 Nostalgia 🥲
The imperial arcade only has one shop now. It used to be the hairdressers on the corner, now it's a bureau de change.
I worked at GAME there, in 1998. There was so much construction going on. We didn't think they'd open on time. I miss that Borders Starbucks, it was the first one in Brighton wasn't it.
What's the music called?
Passing OXYDZ.
@@belight4686 can't find it
Hello all. I was in brighton in 1977.. studi english..please some one help.. remmber in chirchl sq. There was small pond.. was stil there now 2020
No it's gone.
Used to have water running down concrete statue blocks if I recall correctly?
Nice video hope to visit Churchill Square next time I visit Brighton
Really nice video document, and I particularly like the mix of music and production sound
WHSmith have the same shop and same sign in 2020. Probably the same carpets too!
Lol carpets
I was working at Mothercare when the new Mall was being built.It was like a war zone for 2 years!
Was hideous but I don't like what they have now !
I forgot about that disney store
I loved that shop as a kid !
Churchill Sq was always hideous and loathed by most Brightonians. I can remember it opening in '68 as a child. They tore down the old fishing quarter - streets of pebble fronted cottages, Georgian churches. They were considered slums then. Each of those tiny 18 century cottages would be worth half a million now. My mother's antecedents were local fisherman and ran the marine stores. They lived in Upper Russell St. Brighton has a terrible record of destroying it's architectural history.
So much historic buildings have gone over the years , to make way for ugly buildings, it stared to change in the early 1960 s , I miss Hanningtons store,
@@dannywhite3538 So do I.!!!
Who cares about a bunch of minging old fisheries... only problem is the mall is too small!
They should not have them repeated same mistake by tearing down a icon to 60/70s. It was very unique. The indoor mall I’ve been to only twice and it was just like a mall anywhere very depressing as all inside. I loved the open plan Churchill Sq.
I worked as a labourer on that site in early 98..I was amazed that it was opened in September as they were constantly saying they were behind schedule!
Great video! I met my wife in Spring 98, Brighton became one of our favourite places to go as courting teens :D I vaguely remember the building going on then, I remember heading down to Virgin Megastore a lot where it used to be, then it moved into the new mall. We still love a good trip to Brighton with the kids :)
Amazing, I lived in Brighton at the time and hardly remember any of this, there was the old concrete shopping centre which was dire and then a bright nee Churchill square which seemed to open overnight.
Living in Brighton can do that to you!
Shame, I love a bit of 60's architecture. That rotunda thing in particular is very 2001 A Space Odyssey
Back in my day growing up there it was a bridal shop called solitaire I think
Southwick must have changed a lot over the years. This does not resemble the Southwick I remember and I don't recognise ANY of the pubs. I don't like what they've done to the green either, why can't they just leave things as they were?
Wow 1996 seems a long time ago now. I remember the old Square, it was a dead end with shops that couldn't survive on the lower level because no one walked there.
I used to like the old Churchill Square; it was wet and draughty but there was something unique about it. The new Churchill Square looks exactly the same as every other shopping mall in the UK
@@vinegartom8380 Absolutely true! It needs to be reverted back and listed. This vandalism was almost criminal.
Southwick puds are not all from southwick some of them are from hylton castle and Castle town I should know I live in dear old southwick and I remember them all and names even the clude there .
All the Pubs are defiantly from Southwick, West Sussex, Near Brighton.
