| :: Local Information :: Portslade :: Brighton
& Hove :: Sussex :: |
 All our books about Portslade, Brighton & Hove,
East Sussex and West Sussex are shelved in 'Local Studies' at the
beginning of the Adult Non-fiction books, backing onto the College
ICT area. |
Apart from a few such as Ghosts at 133,
most books had been grouped together under general headings, see
the Shelf Numbers to the left. However, we are in the process
of changing their shelf numbers so I apologise if things are not
as straight forward as they should be!

Brighton and Hove
This site is a living history of Brighton and Hove. On the site,
people share their memories, photos, knowledge and opinions about
the city - as it is today and as it was in the past. There are over
1,000 pages about local places and topics, plus virtual city tours
created by local people and an area map. The site is entirely built
and edited by volunteers.
We also have the CD Rom 'My Brighton' which was a forerunner of this
site. |
