WE HAVE another wonderful street party picture from The Argus archive today – and we know where this one was taken.
Some readers may even recognise themselves in this photo, taken in about 1953, in Findon Close, off Steyning Avenue in Hangleton.
Maybe they could tell us what they were celebrating.

Having rather less fun is this family pictured at around the same time in a Nissen hut somewhere in Sussex.
Nissen huts were a regular sight after the war and this kind of accommodation was common place in Sussex during the early Fifties as the UK came to terms with recovery after the Second World War.
Boy scouts collect waste paper, 1959
Our last picture today is a little later, probably 1959, and shows Boy Scouts collecting waste paper in Nevill Avenue, Hove.
While we don’t know where these particular papers were headed, apparently fish and chop shops would give a portion of chips in exchange for a supply.
