By the 1880s the Gilder family were running this pub. The first mention of the Hampden Arms was in the street directories of 1888. It seems the Gilder family ran this pub up until its closure in c.1970.
Originally numbered as 144 Elm Grove, this changed in c.1884 when the houses in Elm Grove were renumbered probably due to new buildings being erected.
This former pub is on the corner of Guildford Street and Upper Gloucester Road
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.
