And those that didn't make the showing of animation shorts, it turns out Brighton Grove was a great venue. Charles 'Joe' Noble spent some of his life living at 14 Brighton Grove and became Britain's oldest animator and made in 1928 he was granted a master patent for a sound cartoon film system, and in November he released the first British talking cartoon, “Orace the ‘Armonious’ Ound”, later completing the first animated sound-film commercial, “Mr York of York, Yorks”.
