28:45 I actually think Elder Place/Street are behind this row of houses here and this is taken from the railway side, so this is facing down the slope towards New England Street (behind Boston St), which is confirmed by the sight of the viaduct in the first photo, showing that these properties faced away from New England. Anyway a fascinating video - I've always been intrigued about Boston Street and didn't ever expect to find a photo of it. Thank you.
The problem was poverty not the houses I was Born in Queens Gardens,and our Neighbours we’re relocating to highrise flats and lost lost (community) - The well off pay a premium to live in these remaining areas
Fascinating & interesting. I grew up in Brighton and remember seeing the houses being demolished at Albion Hill. Gradually working uphill and new flats being built in their place. Eventually our block went too [Dinapore Street upwards] and we went to Coldean. Appropriately named because the new area & house seemed a much colder place to live.
Hi Mary, I loved your documentory of Brighton. I lived in Blaker Street, off Edward Street for a while in the 1980's and I remember the house was quite high maintenance repairs wise. I think those houses were built maybe in the 1850's, I'm not sure. I was told it was built on a stream? True or not I am not sure, but there was a fair amount of damp and subsidence on one corner of house. My mum came from Mouslescombe in the thirties and it was meant to be a model housing area. I know things change. My mum was one of twelve and the houses and gardens were big so the family and neighbours were happy. I grew up in Patcham so enjoyed a bit of country side and the bright lights of Brighton too. Thanks again for your show. Regards, Denise
Mum was born in titchbourne street ended up in bread street sheltered home . She can remember going to bread Street with a baking tray to use the the bakeries oven to cook a roast dinner
Interesting that. The NORTH LAINS is no longer considered unsuitable for habitation.what was actually planed was a flyover road covering the centre of the town
Fantastic talk. Wish there was more. Thanks very much.

Personally I believe that while some of the areas of dwellings could not or would not be repaired the same powers were used as a land grab
