It was also known as St Paul's School for Boys and a little later as St Mary's School for Boys. It was a school up until the Second World War when it became the Education Committees work dept and later an Education supply store.
The earliest record I could find of this building being a public house was in 1885.
I always knew this shop as Betty’s. My Mum spent a lot of time chatting to Betty and her husband whilst I stood with her in the shop watching Betty’s husband slice meat with a meat slicing machine.
During the 1970s and 80s this was the Candy Box sweet shop, just across the road from Elm Grove school.
Just above the corner of Bernard Road. As a child during the late 60s and 70s I knew this as Moons the Barbers.

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.
