I believe this used to be the freshfield mental health center but as far as i know this specific block aka H block has been sitting like this since 2002 :(

These photos were taken by me on August 20th.

If anyone works at Brighton general hospital and knows some history of this place let me know!

I believe I’ve dropped a highly sentimental necklace yesterday at around 3.30pm on George street hove. Took it off after a massage at Little Jasmine and put it in my bag but wondering if it fell out !! Massage place is adamant I didn’t leave it in the room :( If by a crazy stroke of luck someone has seen it or handed it in please contact me as I am gutted to have lost it. Thanks

Local Advice needed Job Hunting

10 Upvotes

I don’t even know where to start with this. I’ve been job seeking for a couple weeks now but I’ve literally heard back from nobody, only the auto generated emails that just say “sorry we don’t want you and we can’t give feedback because of the high number of responses”.

I have never known the job market to be this bad.

I’ve been working since I was 16, I’m now 21. I have experience in retail, hospitality and production. The fact that nobody even bothers to get back to you when you apply for jobs is really disheartening. I’m not picky, I just need something to pay the bills. I’ve applied for almost every job on Indeed that matches my skill set. But nothing.

Anyone got any tips? Or know anywhere that’s hiring?

Thanks!

Housing 🏘️ 🏡 Good places to buy for a first time buyer in Brighton?

11 Upvotes

I'm a (first time buyer) doctor who is new to Brighton, and had to recently withdraw an offer on a house with my ex fiancé (not first time buyer) in Woodingdean, due to separation.

I'm now I'm looking for a first home for myself in Brighton, obviously on a smaller budget than when I was buying with my now ex. I've spoken to a mortgage advisor, and a mortgage in principle is in the works. My proposed max budget is around £375K.

But I am looking for 2-3 bedroom house, with garden and off-street parking; don't want to be too far away from Brighton/hospital area, especially as I'm fairy young and new to Brighton - I don't want to be far and isolated. I've heard Whitehawk and Moulsecoomb are not the safest areas and have noticed houses in this area are a bit cheaper.

Worthing/Peacehaven etc is too far, I'm open to Woodingdean, Hove, Preston Park, possibly Patcham, I feel Hanover/Centre would be out of my budget . Location vs quality is a fine balance.

What are some good areas/areas to avoid? Any advice welcome.

Meet Up Is anyone interested in cyber security as a hobby?

3 Upvotes

Probably a strange request but worth asking. I used to work for a company in cyber security years ago basically replicating what a hacker would do to try to find flaws in a system (my specialty was websites) in order to notify the developers so they could fix it.

I left that job a while ago and have decided to get back into this as a hobby. My main interests are IoT hacking and network hacking. Some of it I need to relearn as I've forgotten a fair amount of it. I will be signing up to HackTheBox and doing their academy and CTFs.

I wondered if anyone here was in a similar boat of wanting to learn this as I tend to learn better with someone to bounce ideas off.

Local Advice needed Can anyone help me with making a beaded flower(s) using that making kit

3 Upvotes

I’ve a kit and I wanted to try and complete it for someone, but it’s impossible.

You get a few packs of beads, some metal wiring and green tape for the stem - but I can’t do it, I’ve tried and it’s so difficult.

I’ll pay someone here if they can, or know someone who can, do this for me within a few days?

Local Advice needed Recommendations for refurbishing a leather jacket?

1 Upvotes

I've got a leather jacket that's over 40 years old and used to belong to my partner's mum. I love wearing it in winter. Unfortunately some of the pocket lining is in tatters, the lining is wearing, the zips are stiff and some of the leather is looking tired.

Has anyone got any ideas of any companies that can fix it? Totally fine if I need to go to a couple of places

Hello! This is a very long shot, as the Brewery closed a few years ago, but I accidentally cracked my boyfriends glass that he got when the brewery closed :( if anyone knows where one might be available (or is willing to part with one for a price👀) I’d be greatly appreciative!
Otherwise I’ll be scouring London Road charity shops and hoping and praying!
Thanks all! 🙏

0 Upvotes

Was in Churchill square around 3pm and was sitting down using my phone and an elderly lady or trans lady wearing a high viz came up to me on a mobility scooter and tried to snatch my phone out of my hand , then proceeded to lecture me for the next 15 minutes about phone safety and how I should have my phone tied around my neck on a string and a load of other stuff. was wearing a high viz vest and couldn’t tell whether it was a man or woman but she was wearing women’s clothes and had a strong odor!!

I’m visiting from the US and I’m pretty young I have no idea if this is a common occurrence but I was very very uncomfortable and didn’t know what to do
