After this many businesses operated from this building such as butchers and hairdressers.
Lovely to see the pub has been commemorated with the Blue Anchor plaque.
Today no. 29 is a domestic residence.
This pub was mentioned in the local directories from at least the 1870s.
Landlord names include J. Measor from the 1870s, and T.N. Snelling and Henry Bridger during the 20s and 30s.
The earliest record I could find for this pub, then known as the Eastern Tavern was 1848. Reed Ockenden was the landlord.
Listed in the directories from at least 1852. At that time ran by William Marchant.
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.
