For around forty years from the 1890s up until the 1930s this pub was run by Patrick James Cunningham and his family. Originally from Ireland, Patrick lived here with his wife Alice and their four children. Their son Percy took over as landlord.
Listed in the directories from at least 1852. At that time ran by William Marchant.
The original Inn was known as The Blue Anchor which dated back as far as 1658.
This former pub is on the corner of Guildford Street and Upper Gloucester 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.
