Formerly Sherry's Dance Hall. The Grand Concert Hall was built in 1866 on the site of Henry and Hester Thrale's house. Later it became Mellison's Skating Rink. Sherry's Dance Hall opened in 1919. During the 1950s it became the Ritz Roller Rink. The West Street facade was demolished in 1969. The Pink Coconut opened in 1983.
The site will become a Premier Inn Hotel.
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.
Built in 1933. Closed as a cinema in the late 1970s, it became a Bingo Hall. This closed in 1997.
A selection of my photographs available mounted from just £10 each.
A fantastic place to share your old Brighton pics and memories with other Brightonians.

Many a good night spent in there from 1976-80. I have been monitoring it’s demise over the last 10 years plus till very recently, sad. As Sherry’s mark 2, it was the best 1970s club discotheque in Sussex as many will endorse too. Interesting photos.
