ARGUS readers will be able to look at and buy original pictures of top stars in the second of our photo exhibitions.

Our one-day event to show off our archive of historical pictures was so popular we are holding another – this time over two days.

We will be at The Grand hotel, Brighton, tomorrow and Saturday with a host of wonderful pictures, including never-before-seen shots of The Rolling Stones and other stars who have visited Sussex and appeared in the newspaper.

As reported earlier this week, historic pictures of The Stones taken by Argus photographers will be on show at the free event.

Visitors will be able to use computers to search through our pictures and find the likes of Eric Clapton, Tom Jones and Barry Manilow.

The archive has been lovingly curated by Andy Garth and his team at Brighton and Hove Stuff as well as archivists at The Keep in Moulsecoomb.

Argus editor Arron Hendy said: “When we moved to Manchester Street at the end of last year it forced us into finally reorganising all our pictures and Andy and his team have unearthed some real treasures.

“I’m a Rolling Stones fan myself so I am particularly excited about this discovery.

“I’ve seen them and they give you a snapshot of a time when you could still see them at smaller, more intimate shows.

“You can of course still search for your favourite pub or sports stars too.”

The full collection, partially revealed at the first event in April, contains more than 30,000 images which are soon to be made available on our website.

The Argus Photo Archive has thousands of unique photographs taken since 1929, with this week’s event focusing on images in the last half of the 20th century.

Among the new collection are a number of limited edition photographs of The Rolling Stones when they played at the Apple Club in North Street, Brighton, in 1971, a venue which is now Boots.

The event will once again be held to raise money for children’s charity Rockinghorse and The Argus Appeal. Historical items relating to The Argus over its 137 years of publishing will be on show and visitors can log on to computers to look through the archive database.

It takes place from 1pm to 8pm tomorrow and from 10am to 6pm on Saturday.
