I need to research this more but from what I remember there was a fire that destroyed it during the 1970s.
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.
It seems that 86 Elm Grove was a private residence up until c.1929 when it became Warren Farm Dairies.
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.

Half of it was Sunny Bank and the other half was spectacle frame factory.
