It must have fascinated me as I have the same memory in a few of the Elm Grove shops. I remember Betty as being a really lovely, happy lady.
it was run from 1970 by W. Johnson. I am guessing this was Betty's husband. Another photo I would dearly love to see is Betty's shop but have yet to find one.
From around 1910 up until the mid 1950's this shop was run by Alfred Heasman.
Known to most of us as Homewoods Store. Homewoods set up shop here in 1936.
The earliest record I could find for this address was in 1869, when it was a bakery run by a W.G Piper.
From c.1954 this was Mrs Ayling’s wool store. When I was around 10 years old I learnt to crochet, and I often visited here in the 1970s.

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.
