Thanks jappo, aye May was the daughter my sister knew. My Da drank in the wee ship as it was just next to where we stayed on London Rd, come to think of it my Da probably drank in every pub in Brigton and so would his sister and brother. My granda drank in the cosy corner. Adaline so did my da, in the 60s until john mcshane bought the stamford bar

Whitby st was split with a gabble end near the bottom that was joined by a paper shop called nettas but sadly the shop got demolished in the hurricane that hit glasgow , the shop was opposite the railway station cant remember the year ? Gor do you remember mrs early? Hurricane Low Q hit Glasgow on 15th January 1968, causing extensive damage and the loss of nine lives. i remember it well i slept through the wqhole night but the area was devasted roofs blown aff and everything we did storm damage repairs on the roofs years afterwards it was good for all the local slating companies

i think that the bell should represent the same as bow bells in londons east end, hence the cockneys, we could huv any body born within the sound of the toll clock tower and call them proper brigtonian jockneys, am definateley wan of them as i,m born within the sound of the bell right enough as long as the mermaid wisnae open at that time if rangers won the league in 1956. but they never it was clyde so ye,d of heard the clock fae the rottenrow hospital as brigton was silenced for once . ;D ;D ;D so that makes me a brigton jockney, even though my faimily ur fae the herry ham and bernard st
