lost: Photographs near Brighton Palace Pier
Description
I lost a small stack of photographs on Tuesday around 7:45 p.m. while strolling along the Brighton seafront near the Pavilion. They’re a mix of black-and-white prints and a few colour snaps from a trip to the South Downs, memories of my late grandmother. They were tucked into a faded album that I carried in my bag. They hold a lot of sentimental value, and I’m hoping they didn’t blow away into the windy sea air. If you picked up a small packet of old photos by the Brighton seafront, perhaps near the Palace Pier or North Laine, please tell me via the site so I can start to fix these memories.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
