	Brighton Remembered: A Century in Pictures 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 such fascinating 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 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. Price: £11.89 Publication: October 2002
	Streets of Brighton Brighton, as a population centre, grew rapidly in the 19th century as a result of the boom in the domestic holiday market and with the vastly improved travel connections to London. For the continuing development of Brighton and neighbouring Hove from the late 19th century onwards, the provision of good quality public transport became imperative. Three main operators came to dominate the local scene - the vehicles of Brighton Corporation, Southdown and Brighton, Hove & District. Brighton Corporation had electric trams until 1939, but had already largely switched to trolleybus operation by that date, while both Southdown and BH&D were bus operators. However, the area was to see one of the earliest exercises in jointly operated, revenue sharing routes, with the result that BH&D acquired a small fleet of trolleybuses for use of the Corporation-owned trolleybus system. Both operators were, despite this, to see their trolleybus routes converted to bus operation in 1959/61, as the traffic co-ordination policy was further extended. In their latest joint publishing venture, the authors examine the history of transport in Brighton and Hove in the 30 years after the end of World War 2. Using photographs from their own collections, along with those of other notable transport photographers, the authors have carefully selected over 80 evocative photographs that portray the area's public transport from the familiar backdrop of the Prince Regent's Brighton Pavilion to the sea front and the suburbs.
