Brighton would be my guess here even though it's supposed to be London. The reality, 69 Lansdowne Road, Hove in Sussex.

Found and foto'ed by that indefatigable investigator, Stephen Dean.

Nice windmill . . . and within 24 hours Steve Cook identified this as The Green, Rottingdean, Sussex.

The view is not quite as good two floors down beneath the balcony. Stephen Dean.

Newhaven in Sussex, viewed from Denton Island.

The new bridge was built in 1983 and some of the buildings near the bridge were demolished to make way for a new road. Spot on photo by Stephen Dean.

After the attempted run-over. Newhaven viewed from Denton Island bridge.

The old bridge was to the left of the present bridge. From the original buildings only The Bridge Inn remains. Stephen Dean on the case.

Demolished 1988 (the second chimney in 1998). The new Shoreham power station chimney can be seen behind the industrial units. SD

All's well that ends well. Shoreham Harbour in Sussex. Looking across to Albion Street, Southwick.

Taken slightly nearer the edge to allow a clear shot. The quay side is now the compound of an aggregates supplier. SD
