Sadly the signage from the other side was too damaged to keep in place. This side though will remain under the new facade.
During the 1840s it was a beer house but it wasn't until the directories of the 1850s that it was referred to as The Gardener's Arms, also The Gardener's Arms Inn. It was still trading as the Gardener's Arms in the 1970s. I'm not sure when this building ceased being a pub.
A department store none of us will forget. This is one of the old doorways in East Street.
J. Smith & Son. Heating and Lighting and General Engineers was in business at these premises from c.1876/77 to the late 1950s.

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.

Just to add to this excellent page a picture I’ve found which has a glimpse of what I believe is the Gardeners Arms pub in 1953!
The picture shows Terminus Road dated 14 January 1953 – from the Brighton Pavillion & Museums Flickr page.

To the left of the shot is a glimpse of some Tamplins Ales signage. I gather Tamplins took over Smithers brewery in 1929. Using google streetview to line up with the bricked up windows on the station and the drain cover in the street, I’m guessing this pub is indeed the Gardeners Arms at 9 Terminus Road.
