W. Carter ran the pub from the 1850s up until the 1880s. The photo I have taken here is from 1990. I am not sure when it ceased trading but this pub survived some 140 years! Pretty amazing.
The earliest record for the Race Horse Inn is 1882 when it was listed as the Race Horse Tavern run by H Stubberfield.
Listed in the directories from at least 1852. At that time ran by William Marchant.
On the corner of Cobden Road. This was a public house from at least 1881.
In existence here from at least 1869, the pub had closed by the mid 1930s.
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.
