By 1872 it's name was changed to the Eastern Hotel. The landlord being H Betts.
I am unsure when the pub closed. I know it was still up and running in the late 1970s.
Demolished in 1993.

The earliest mention I could find in the street directories was in 1862.

This stretch of Ditchling Road from St Peter’s to Viaduct Road was originally called Brunswick Place North.

The earliest record for the Race Horse Inn is 1882 when it was listed as the Race Horse Tavern run by H Stubberfield.
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.
