From the times when the Hippodrome was once a circus.
After many years of the Lighting Shop being here at these premises it has recently been sold to a new owner who is planning to turn it into an Ice Cream Parlour.
The old signage left unpainted by the current owners. It reads ‘Family Grocer’, which was this building’s life before 1921.
I am presuming that this was a guest house of some kind. I could only find it listed as Ivy House from c.1905.
Lloyds TSB decided to go it alone again as Lloyds. For a few days whilst they changed their signage back to ‘Lloyds’ the original ‘Capital and Counties Bank’ engraved sign was on show.
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.
