A couple of landlords worthy of a mention were Walter Golden who ran the pub during the early 1900s and the Banks family who ran the pub during the 1920s and 30s.

The original Inn was known as The Blue Anchor which dated back as far as 1658.

This stretch of Ditchling Road from St Peter’s to Viaduct Road was originally called Brunswick Place North.

On the corner of Milton Road. The earliest record of the Elm Grove Tavern I could find was in 1854.
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.
