  • About Queenspark Books About This Book
    About QueenSpark Books QueenSpark Books was founded in 1972 as part of a campaign to save the historic Royal Spa in Brighton's Queen's Park from being converted to a casino.

QueenSpark Books is now the longest-running organisation of its kind in the UK. More than one hundred books later, as part of our 45th anniversary celebrations, we are making the original texts of many of our out-of-print books available for the first time in many years.

About this book This 1994 memoir is the sequel to Sid Manville’s Everything Seems Smaller. It recalls ​ ​ memories of friends, neighbours and relatives who made up the ‘small corner’ of Sid’s neighbourhood in Bear Road in Brighton in the Twenties and Thirties. Sid writes with much affection and humour, although he doesn’t forget that this era was also a time of great hardship for working class people. His own mother and father struggled to bring up a large family at a time when it was considered fortunate to have any kind of job, no matter how poorly paid. Sid’s memories include cinema-going, schooldays and shops and shopkeepers around Bear Road and Elm Grove.
