The earliest mention of the New England Inn that I could find was in 1872 with the owner being W. Stevens. Such a shame to see it go. Apparently it was in a bad way structurally according to the demolition men. However it was owned by the Council and I don't believe they were in any hurry to save it as they plan to build Brighton's first shipping container homes for the homeless behind it. Watch this space...
