It was taken over by the Xavarian college in 1901 and finally closed down in 1966.The land remained derelict for many years. I used to go and play in the grounds during the late 1970s. The only evidence now of it's existence is the surrounding wall and the garden gazebo and this old 'college' sign which is only visible when you scrape off the ivy from the post.
In the Brighton Museum this is all that remains of the little room with all the stuffed animal heads. Remember them?
During the refurbishment of this pub an old sign was discovered under the paintwork.
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.
