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.
The earliest record I could find for this pub, then known as the Eastern Tavern was 1848. Reed Ockenden was the landlord.
This stretch of Ditchling Road from St Peter’s to Viaduct Road was originally called Brunswick Place North.
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.
