The Lost Shops of Brighton

QueenSpark Calendar 2008

The 1875 directory for East Brighton listed 35 bootmakers, 3 breweries, 19 dress-makers, 15 tailors, 2 watchmakers, 2 tinners, 2 brushmakers and 2 basketmakers. By 1974 they had virtually all disappeared, apart from one jeweller and one costumer.

Following the same format as last year's successful Lost Streets of Brighton calendar, Lost Shops of Brighton - QueenSpark Calendar 2008 features some striking photographs, most of which are previously unseen by the public. All the shops featured in the calendar have long since disappeared and viewed together in this special collection, conjure a wonderfully evocative portrait of the city's past.

The calendar retails at £8.99 and can be purchased via QueenSpark's website (see link to the right). This price includes postage and packing.
