From an advert dated 1895:
Ross and Sons. The fashionable gentlemens and ladies outfitters. Hosiers, Glovers and Hatters. Established 70 years.
Temporarily uncovered whilst the tunnel was being strengthened to preserve it for many years to come.
This premises was a dyeing business for many years from 1874 up until 1935.
The earliest record I could find for The Hat Box was 1912.
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.
