From c.1954 this was Mrs Ayling’s wool store. When I was around 10 years old I learnt to crochet, and I often visited here in the 1970s.

It seems that 86 Elm Grove was a private residence up until c.1929 when it became Warren Farm Dairies.

This building started out as Marion/Miriam cottage around 1870, owned by a William Chisholm.

During the 1970s and 80s this was the Candy Box sweet shop, just across the road from Elm Grove school.
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.
