JUMBLE sales have largely died out now, replaced by charity shops and the internet, but lots of Argus readers will remember happy days hunting for bargains at events like this one.

On the march through East Street in 1950
Our last picture today was taken in about 1950 and shows some sort of procession moving along East Street, Brighton.
We don’t know if it was a funeral or some kind of pensioners’ protest.
