By the early 1900s it had become the Model Laundry which stayed in business until the 1940s. During the 1950s it became Homade Bakeries.
From the 1960s onwards the premises became a wood turner's factory which survived up until it's closure sometime during the mid to late 2000s.
It was demolished during 2009 to make way for housing.
From 1917 110 Elm Grove was a Drapers store ran by Mrs Hobden. The first mention of a Girl Guide’s shop was c.1958.
I always knew this shop as Betty’s. My Mum spent a lot of time chatting to Betty and her husband whilst I stood with her in the shop watching Betty’s husband slice meat with a meat slicing machine.
The earliest records I could find for 210 and 210a Elm Grove was during the early 1890s.
A selection of my photographs available mounted from just £10 each.
Work has now commenced on controversial plans to alter the traffic flow and accessibility of the area between St. Peter’s and Pool Valley.
Days are numbered for most of the buildings along Pelham Terrace, Lewes Road.
Demolition has started of the old Pink Coconut Night Club.
Built in 1933. Closed as a cinema in the late 1970s, it became a Bingo Hall. This closed in 1997.
A fantastic place to share your old Brighton pics and memories with other Brightonians.
