By 1908 it was owned by D. Burtenshaw. A. Herridge had his dairy business here from 1913 to 1919. From 1920 up until the late 1930's or early 1940's the business had become a grocers shop run by George Edgington. From the late 1940's until 1960 the grocers business was owned by Cyril Parsons.
I think this shop was best remembered as Trenchards during the 1960's and 70's until its conversion into housing. I have a vague memory of this being a shop as a child.
From the beginning of the 1900s this building was a tobacconist and confectioners ran by the Smallwood family.
The earliest records I could find for 210 and 210a Elm Grove was during the early 1890s.
This building started out as Marion/Miriam cottage around 1870, owned by a William Chisholm.
C. 1922 74 Elm Grove became Harry Ernest Taylor’s chemist, whilst number 76 (the corner) was trading as a grocers for many years previous to this.

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.
