Dating back to c.1908 the first proprietor was J.E.Bissell. During the 1930s Mrs Lowe was the shopkeeper. She was here up until the 1960s. During the late 1960s it became Flair the Ladies Hairdressers, a place I remember being taken to as a little child.
I'm not sure when this closed. It was still there in 1972. Afterwards it was converted into the house we see today.
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.
This shop was Harmony Carpets from around 1968. It was been a vacant shop for many years and has recently been converted into housing.
The earliest record I could find of this building being a public house was in 1885.
During the 1890s this building served as a laundry, originally under the name of G.P.Murfin.

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.
