This is a picture of grim-looking Carlton Row in Brighton taken in 1928 when it was one of the town’s slums.

It was so narrow that the sun only shone there for a couple of hours each day. No one in Carlton Row had a car, so people walked, cycled or used a horse and cart.

The road was eventually demolished with many others as part of Brighton Council’s slum clearance schemes and there are now flats on the site.

This photograph is from the collection of local historian David Rowland who comments, “The good old days – maybe not.”
