Henry Marsh, born 1845 and also his son Henry, born 1867, were both chimney sweeps and lived at this address. Lovely that the owners of this property paint around this old sign rather than paint over it.

The earliest record I could find for The Hat Box was 1912.

When I took this photo back in 2012 I didn’t realise how long the business had been here for. I purely took it for the old signage.

C. Baker & Co., a wholesale tobacconists was at these premises from at least 1947 to the late 1950s.
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.
