THESE men are hard at work knocking down Brill’s baths, which were next to Brighton Town Hall.
This was in 1929.
The building was once the biggest of its kind in Europe.
Another eyecatching structure – and easier to identify –is St Bartholomew’s Church, Brighton.
It was shrouded in scaffolding in around 1929, but still easily identifiable.
Our Argus archive picture of Gatwick Station was taken around 1937.

This is the rear of St Margaret’s at the sea end of the High Street.

On Friday, December 18, a Dornier 217 dropped four 500kg bombs on the village.
One destroyed St Margaret’s Vicarage and another went down the lift shaft of this block of flats.
