Get Involved

Sound Maps of London Road is calling upon local community groups, shopkeepers, residents, creators of space and historians of the streets. Together we will record the cultural richness and revitalise the soul of this part of Brighton & Hove!
 
If you are local to the area and would like to tell a London Road related story of any kind, contribute to an archive of personal history, or simply capture the sounds on the street then please get in touch.
 
London Road Sound Mapping Weekend, March 2010
 
Armed with all the portable recording devices we could lay our hands on, we hit the streets to record the sounds and stories of the area. We then dropped off our recordings at a Mapping Room in a near-by location ready to be plotted the map.
