During the mid 1940s this shop became Beaumont's Cycle Shop and remained in business here until c.1980s.

During the 1970s and 80s this was the Candy Box sweet shop, just across the road from Elm Grove school.

The earliest record I could find of this building being a public house was in 1885.

C. 1922 74 Elm Grove became Harry Ernest Taylor’s chemist, whilst number 76 (the corner) was trading as a grocers for many years previous to this.

At the corner with Totland Road. Built c.1906, this shop started life as Wright’s confectioners.
A selection of my photographs available mounted from just £10 each.

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.
