By the early 1900s it had become the Model Laundry which stayed in business until the 1940s. During the 1950s it became Homade Bakeries.
From the 1960s onwards the premises became a wood turner's factory which survived up until it's closure sometime during the mid to late 2000s.
It was demolished during 2009 to make way for housing.
The earliest record I could find for this address was in 1869, when it was a bakery run by a W.G Piper.
During the 1970s and 80s this was the Candy Box sweet shop, just across the road from Elm Grove school.
This shop was Harmony Carpets from around 1968. It was been a vacant shop for many years and has recently been converted into housing.

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.
