To encourage the elderly to explore technology with the help of young people by digitally tagging their memories and stories on to Brighton Buildings. To produce a phone application that uses augmented reality to give Brighton users views of buildings that no longer exist, have been altered, or had a change of purpose and linking the images to oral and written historical accounts given by locals. The buildings will be tagged with stories and memories and will be part of an app that anyone can use for free. The app will have longevity within the community, as once the app is completed people will continue to be able to add to the information about different buildings by leaving their own written tags. List of possible buildings of interest in Brighton: The Hippodrome, Middle St. Opened 1900 – closed 1996 The Astoria, Gloucester Place 1933 – 1977 (those in their 80’s would remember its early days) The Regency, 1920 – 1970s (those in their 80’s would remember its early days) Hanningtons 1808 – 2001 Possible other buildings - but it may be difficult to find people to interview. Brill Baths, DEMOLOSHIED 1929 (need to be 85+) The SS Brighton 1934 –1965 (need to be 85+) Another possibility may be to look at other smaller buildings and venues such as “coffee shops” from the 1960’s and/or pubs. The museum has a large catalogue of images of the pubs around Brighton. Whisky-A-Go-Go (in the same building was the Calypso Club and the Blue Gardenia Club) Minataur coffee bar – behind Hanningtons The Cottage Coffee Bar – Blind Lemon Alley The Heart and Hand - John Winch ran two Folk clubs in the 60s - Country and Gospel Club at the Heart and Hand, North Street. Many thanks, Marie Hi Anthony

I took back lots of ideas and I could really do with some help. I'm going to try and set up a similar event but for UK Policing. I'm Vice Chair of the National Police Web Managers Group and the Chair was with me at Brighton (Sasha Taylor from Warwickshire Police). Could you let me know what the process was for setting up the camp? Anything at this stage would be useful - All I've done so far is registered the URL (no website yet!) Many thanks . . .
