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.
This former pub is on the corner of Guildford Street and Upper Gloucester Road
On the corner of Milton Road. The earliest record of the Elm Grove Tavern I could find was in 1854.
Landlord names include J. Measor from the 1870s, and T.N. Snelling and Henry Bridger during the 20s and 30s.
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.

By the late 80s, it was a squat, I went to some parties there.
