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.
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.
After many years of the Lighting Shop being here at these premises it has recently been sold to a new owner who is planning to turn it into an Ice Cream Parlour.
In the Brighton Museum this is all that remains of the little room with all the stuffed animal heads. Remember them?
J. Smith & Son. Heating and Lighting and General Engineers was in business at these premises from c.1876/77 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.
