This walk will explore some of the key locations in the QueenSpark book Backyard – Back Street Brighton, available to buy here. 

The walk will take you through the backstreets of Brighton’s past, retelling the stories of those whose homes were demolished as part of Brighton’s Slum Clearances during the 1930s and 1950s. From Churchill Square, once an intimate network of terraced houses, through North Laine and the Level, and finally coming back around to Middle Street, you’ll hear individual tales from Brighton’s working class communities, accompanied by remarkable photographs of Brighton from the just before the Clearances took place. The walk takes approximately an hour to complete.
