Walking past today I noticed that you could see a feint outline of the word 'Sopers' - and this was once Sopers Bazaar or Emporium.
Samuel Henry Soper had his linen draper business here from c. 1860. The corner was known as Soper's Corner.
Catch this shop in the right light and you can spot the old shop signage shining through.
William James Andrew had his grocers business here at 47 New England Road from 1926-1935.
The renovations of this shop have uncovered the old signage and awning of Harry Woods hosier business.
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.
