Quadrophenia Alley! - a photo on Flickriver

It’s sometimes interesting what you find without looking for it, isn’t it? This is Quadrophenia Alley in Brighton, on the south coast of England, which was the location for a scene in the 1979 cult film Quadrophenia. Just off East Street, I came across it purely by chance.

The film was set in Brighton and retells the time in 1964 when Mods and Rockers (two conflicting British youth subcultures) descended on the town and embarked on fights leading to a mass riot. The alley has since become a shrine to the Mod movement, and people come from all over the world to see it. The plaque was unveiled in 2023 by actors Phil Daniels and Gary Shail, who starred in the film.

Oh... and talking of Mods, see here. Perhaps the greatest mod band of them all.
